  Feature Selection
 

  1. Actions Performed by the Feature Selection Program
     This program performs feature selection on training data files
     used for classification or mapping
   a. The program reads the training data filename.The No of the Inputs, No
      of Outputs.
   b. The program analyzes the training data file and prints out a 
      list of feature numbers and numbers denoting importance.
      Larger values of the measure denote more importance. The program
      then orders the features according to their importance.


  2. Example:

    twod.tra            ! data filename
    8                   ! number of input features per pattern
    7                   ! number of desired outputs per pattern


      Here, we analyze training data file twod.tra which has 8 input 
      features and 7 desired outputs. 
   d. Note that the re-ordered features have the same order as the original
      features. This means that feature number 1 was the most important 
      one, feature number 2 was the 2nd most important one, etc.
   e. You can run this program on your own data.
