Cost-Constrained feature selection in binary classification: adaptations for greedy forward selection and genetic algorithms
Abstract Background With modern methods in biotechnology, the search for biomarkers has advanced to a challenging statistical task exploring high dimensional data sets. Feature selection is a widely researched preprocessing step to handle huge numbers of biomarker candidates and has special importan...
