Android Malware classification using static code analysis and Apriori algorithm improved with particle swarm optimization

Several machine learning techniques based on supervised learning have been adopted in the classification of malware. However, only supervised learning techniques have proofed insufficient for malware classification task. This paper presents a classification of android malware using candidate detecto...
