Efficient Feature Selection via Genetic Algorithms

Using evolutionary algorithms for fast feature selection with large datasets

This is the final part of a two-part series about feature selection. Read part 1 here.

Brief recap: when fitting a model to a dataset, you may want to select a subset of the features (as opposed to using all features), for various reasons. But even if you have a clear objective function to search for the best combination of features, the search …
