Wrappers for feature subset selection

Ron Kohavi, +1 more
- 01 Dec 1997 - 
- Vol. 97, Iss: 1, pp 273-324
TLDR
The wrapper method searches for an optimal feature subset tailored to a particular algorithm and a domain and compares the wrapper approach to induction without feature subset selection and to Relief, a filter approach tofeature subset selection.

A literature review on the application of evolutionary computing to credit scoring

TL;DR: The aim of this paper is to summarize the most recent developments in the application of evolutionary algorithms to credit scoring by means of a thorough review of scientific articles published during the period 2000–2012.
Journal ArticleDOI

Classification and knowledge discovery in protein databases

TL;DR: The experimental results show that in many cases ensembles of logistic regression classifiers may outperform more expressive models due to their robustness to noise and low sample density in a high-dimensional feature space and ensemble of neural networks may be the best solution for large datasets.

Machine Learning: ECML 2000

TL;DR: This talk describes how information about the search process can be taken into account when evaluating hypotheses, and how the expected generalization error of a hypothesis is computed as a function of the search steps leading to it.

Feature Selection Based on Class-Dependent Densities for High-Dimensional Binary Data

TL;DR: A new FR algorithm, termed as class-dependent density-based feature elimination (CDFE), for binary data sets, is proposed and theoretical analysis shows that CDFE computes the weights, used for feature ranking, more efficiently as compared to the mutual information measure.

Induction of Decision Trees

J. R. Quinlan
- 25 Mar 1986 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, an approach to synthesizing decision trees that has been used in a variety of systems, and it describes one such system, ID3, in detail, is described, and a reported shortcoming of the basic algorithm is discussed.
