Talk:Feature selection

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article lacks the improvements that came through to address the issue of nesting and curse of dimensionality. New methods have been devised including, but not limited to, Branch and Bound, and Piecewise Linear Network. I will sort through my resources and edit this article accordingly.Aboosh 07:49, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

There should be also a clear distinction between deterministic and stochastic approaches. And also a nice example could be a picture or a table for picking n features from N (n over N possibilities) or picking 1 to n features from N features (2^n possibilities).

[edit] Correlation vs. statistical dependence

"As a special case, the "correlation" can be replaced by the statistical dependency..."

As I understand, correlation is a special case of statistical dependence, not the other way around. So this sentence is incorrect. -Pgan002 23:03, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
