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.

Processing and classification of protein mass spectra

TL;DR: This study focuses on the data-analytical phase, which takes as input mass spectra of biological specimens and discovers patterns of peak masses and intensities that discriminate between different pathological states.

Feature selection for interpatient supervised heart beat classification

TL;DR: Feature selection techniques are considered to extract optimal feature subsets for state-of-the-art ECG classification models and indicate that a small number of individual features actually serve the classification and that better performances can be achieved by removing useless features.

Integrated analysis of established and novel microbial and chemical methods for microbial source tracking.

TL;DR: Several statistical or machine learning methods were evaluated and provided two successful predictive models based on just two variables, giving 100% correct classification: the ratio of the densities of somatic coliphages and phages infecting Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron to the density of somatics coliphage and the ratio

New Approaches in Turbulence and Transition Modeling Using Data-driven Techniques

TL;DR: A data-driven approach to the modeling of turbulent and transitional flows is proposed, to infer the functional form of deficiencies in known closure models by applying inverse problems to computational and experimental data, use machine learning to reconstruct the improved functional forms, and to inject the improvedfunctional forms in simulations to obtain more accurate predictions.

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.
