Performing feature selection with FSelector
The FSelector package provides two approaches to select the most influential features from the original feature set. Firstly, rank features by some criteria and select the ones that are above a defined threshold. Secondly, search for optimum feature subsets from a space of feature subsets. In this recipe, we will introduce how to perform feature selection with the FSelector package.
