Feature Selection Package - Algorithms - Fast Correlation-Based Filter
Description
FCBF is a fast correlation-based filter algorithm designed for high-dimensional data and has been shown effective in removing both irrelevant features and redundant features.
Usage
Method Signature:
[out] = fsFCBF(X,Y)

Output:
    out: A struct containing the field 'fList', the list of features relevant for further processing.

Input:
    X: The features on current trunk, each column is a feature vector on all instances, and each row is a part of the instance.
    Y: The label of instances, in single column form: 1 2 3 4 5 ...
Code Example
