Class Summary

Class	Description
ASEvaluation	Abstract attribute selection evaluation class
ASSearch	Abstract attribute selection search class.
AttributeSelection	Attribute selection class.
AttributeSetEvaluator	Abstract attribute set evaluator.
BestFirst	BestFirst: Searches the space of attribute subsets by greedy hillclimbing augmented with a backtracking facility.
CfsSubsetEval	CfsSubsetEval : Evaluates the worth of a subset of attributes by considering the individual predictive ability of each feature along with the degree of redundancy between them. Subsets of features that are highly correlated with the class while having low intercorrelation are preferred. For more information see: M.
CheckAttributeSelection	Class for examining the capabilities and finding problems with attribute selection schemes.
ChiSquaredAttributeEval	ChiSquaredAttributeEval : Evaluates the worth of an attribute by computing the value of the chi-squared statistic with respect to the class. Valid options are:
ClassifierSubsetEval	Classifier subset evaluator: Evaluates attribute subsets on training data or a seperate hold out testing set.
ConsistencySubsetEval	ConsistencySubsetEval : Evaluates the worth of a subset of attributes by the level of consistency in the class values when the training instances are projected onto the subset of attributes.
CostSensitiveASEvaluation	Abstract base class for cost-sensitive subset and attribute evaluators.
CostSensitiveAttributeEval	A meta subset evaluator that makes its base subset evaluator cost-sensitive.
CostSensitiveSubsetEval	A meta subset evaluator that makes its base subset evaluator cost-sensitive.
ExhaustiveSearch	ExhaustiveSearch : Performs an exhaustive search through the space of attribute subsets starting from the empty set of attrubutes.
FilteredAttributeEval	Class for running an arbitrary attribute evaluator on data that has been passed through an arbitrary filter (note: filters that alter the order or number of attributes are not allowed).
FilteredSubsetEval	Class for running an arbitrary subset evaluator on data that has been passed through an arbitrary filter (note: filters that alter the order or number of attributes are not allowed).
GainRatioAttributeEval	GainRatioAttributeEval : Evaluates the worth of an attribute by measuring the gain ratio with respect to the class. GainR(Class, Attribute) = (H(Class) - H(Class | Attribute)) / H(Attribute). Valid options are:
GeneticSearch	GeneticSearch: Performs a search using the simple genetic algorithm described in Goldberg (1989). For more information see: David E.
GreedyStepwise	GreedyStepwise : Performs a greedy forward or backward search through the space of attribute subsets.
HoldOutSubsetEvaluator	Abstract attribute subset evaluator capable of evaluating subsets with respect to a data set that is distinct from that used to initialize/ train the subset evaluator.
InfoGainAttributeEval	InfoGainAttributeEval : Evaluates the worth of an attribute by measuring the information gain with respect to the class. InfoGain(Class,Attribute) = H(Class) - H(Class | Attribute). Valid options are:
LatentSemanticAnalysis	Performs latent semantic analysis and transformation of the data.
LFSMethods
LinearForwardSelection	LinearForwardSelection: Extension of BestFirst.
OneRAttributeEval	OneRAttributeEval : Evaluates the worth of an attribute by using the OneR classifier. Valid options are:
PrincipalComponents	Performs a principal components analysis and transformation of the data.
RaceSearch	Races the cross validation error of competing attribute subsets.
RandomSearch	RandomSearch : Performs a Random search in the space of attribute subsets.
Ranker	Ranker : Ranks attributes by their individual evaluations.
RankSearch	RankSearch : Uses an attribute/subset evaluator to rank all attributes.
ReliefFAttributeEval	ReliefFAttributeEval : Evaluates the worth of an attribute by repeatedly sampling an instance and considering the value of the given attribute for the nearest instance of the same and different class.
ScatterSearchV1	Class for performing the Sequential Scatter Search.
SubsetSizeForwardSelection	SubsetSizeForwardSelection: Extension of LinearForwardSelection.
SVMAttributeEval	SVMAttributeEval : Evaluates the worth of an attribute by using an SVM classifier.
SymmetricalUncertAttributeEval	SymmetricalUncertAttributeEval : Evaluates the worth of an attribute by measuring the symmetrical uncertainty with respect to the class.
UnsupervisedAttributeEvaluator	Abstract unsupervised attribute evaluator.
UnsupervisedSubsetEvaluator	Abstract unsupervised attribute subset evaluator.
WrapperSubsetEval	WrapperSubsetEval: Evaluates attribute sets by using a learning scheme.
