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.

Feature selection based on mutual information criteria of max-dependency, max-relevance, and min-redundancy

TL;DR: In this article, the maximal statistical dependency criterion based on mutual information (mRMR) was proposed to select good features according to the maximal dependency condition. But the problem of feature selection is not solved by directly implementing mRMR.

Gene Selection for Cancer Classification using Support Vector Machines

TL;DR: In this article, a Support Vector Machine (SVM) method based on recursive feature elimination (RFE) was proposed to select a small subset of genes from broad patterns of gene expression data, recorded on DNA micro-arrays.

Policies for the selection of bias in inductive machine learning

TL;DR: This dissertation clarifies the concept of inductive bias by extending the generally accepted model, and separating out inductive policy, and designs a near-optimal policy for selecting both the depth and breadth for a depth-first search.
