Feature selection

In machine learning and statistics, feature selection, also known as variable selection, attribute selection or variable subset selection, is the process of selecting a subset of relevant features (variables, predictors) for use in model construction. Feature selection techniques are used for three reasons: * simplification of models to make them easier to interpret by researchers/users, * shorter training times, * enhanced generalization by reducing overfitting(formally, reduction of variance)
