Software For Feature Selection
Many standard data analysis software systems are often used for feature selection, such as SciLab, NumPy and the R language. Other software systems are tailored specifically to the feature-selection task:
- Weka – freely available and open-source software in Java.
- Feature Selection Toolbox 3 – freely available and open-source software in C++.
- RapidMiner – freely available and open-source software.
- Orange – freely available and open-source software (module orngFSS).
- TOOLDIAG Pattern recognition toolbox – freely available C toolbox.
- minimum redundancy feature selection tool – freely available C/Matlab codes for selecting minimum redundant features.
- A C# Implementation of greedy forward feature subset selection for various classifiers (e.g., LibLinear, SVM-light).
- MCFS-ID (Monte Carlo Feature Selection and Interdependency Discovery) is a Monte Carlo method-based tool for feature selection. It also allows for the discovery of interdependencies between the relevant features. MCFS-ID is particularly suitable for the analysis of high-dimensional, ill-defined transactional and biological data.
- RRF is an R package for feature selection and can be installed from R. RRF stands for Regularized Random Forest, which is a type of Regularized Trees. By building a regularized random forest, a compact set of non-redundant features can be selected without loss of predictive information. Regularized trees can capture non-linear interactions between variables, and naturally handle different scales, and numerical and categorical variables.

Famous quotes containing the words feature and/or selection:
“When delicate and feeling souls are separated, there is not a feature in the sky, not a movement of the elements, not an aspiration of the breeze, but hints some cause for a lovers apprehension.”
—Richard Brinsley Sheridan (17511816)
“When you consider the radiance, that it does not withhold
itself but pours its abundance without selection into every
nook and cranny”
—Archie Randolph Ammons (b. 1926)
