Android Malware Detection using Feature Ranking of Permissions. (arXiv:2201.08468v1 [cs.CR])

We investigate the use of Android permissions as the vehicle to allow for
quick and effective differentiation between benign and malware apps. To this
end, we extract all Android permissions, eliminating those that have zero
impact, and apply two feature ranking algorithms namely Chi-Square test and
Fisher's Exact test to rank and additionally filter them, resulting in a
comparatively small set of relevant permissions. Then we use Decision Tree,
Support Vector Machine, and Random Forest Classifier algorithms to detect
malware …
