SequentialFeatureSelector

SequentialFeatureSelector

Transformer that performs Sequential Feature Selection.

This Sequential Feature Selector adds (forward selection) or removes (backward selection) features to form a feature subset in a greedy fashion. At each stage, this estimator chooses the best feature to add or remove based on the cross-validation score of an estimator. In the case of unsupervised learning, this Sequential Feature Selector looks only at the features (X), not the desired outputs (y).

Constructors

constructor()

Signature

new SequentialFeatureSelector(opts?: object): SequentialFeatureSelector;

Parameters

NameTypeDescription
opts?object-
opts.cv?numberDetermines the cross-validation splitting strategy. Possible inputs for cv are:
opts.direction?"forward" | "backward"Whether to perform forward selection or backward selection. Default Value 'forward'
opts.estimator?anyAn unfitted estimator.
opts.n_features_to_select?number | "auto"If "auto", the behaviour depends on the tol parameter: Default Value 'warn'
opts.n_jobs?numberNumber of jobs to run in parallel. When evaluating a new feature to add or remove, the cross-validation procedure is parallel over the folds. undefined means 1 unless in a joblib.parallel\_backend (opens in a new tab) context. \-1 means using all processors. See Glossary for more details.
opts.scoring?stringA single str (see The scoring parameter: defining model evaluation rules) or a callable (see Defining your scoring strategy from metric functions) to evaluate the predictions on the test set. NOTE that when using a custom scorer, it should return a single value. If undefined, the estimator’s score method is used.
opts.tol?numberIf the score is not incremented by at least tol between two consecutive feature additions or removals, stop adding or removing. tol can be negative when removing features using direction="backward". It can be useful to reduce the number of features at the cost of a small decrease in the score. tol is enabled only when n\_features\_to\_select is "auto".
