selectFeatures: Machine Learning Feature Selection Transform

Artikel
02/28/2023

The feature selection transform selects features from the specified variables using the specified mode.

Usage

  selectFeatures(vars, mode, ...)

Arguments

`vars`

A formula or a vector/list of strings specifying the name of variables upon which the feature selection is performed, if the mode is minCount(). For example, ~ var1 + var2 + var3. If mode is mutualInformation(), a formula or a named list of strings describing the dependent variable and the independent variables. For example, label ~ ``var1 + var2 + var3.

`mode`

Specifies the mode of feature selection. This can be either minCount or mutualInformation.

`...`

Additional arguments to be passed directly to the Microsoft Compute Engine.

Details

The feature selection transform selects features from the specified variables using one of the two modes: count or mutual information. For more information, see minCount and mutualInformation.

Value

A maml object defining the transform.
