FSelector

The `FSelector“ implements the optimization algorithm.

Details

FSelector is an abstract base class that implements the base functionality each fselector must provide.

Resources

There are several sections about feature selection in the mlr3book.

• Learn more about fselectors.

The gallery features a collection of case studies and demos about optimization.

• Utilize the built-in feature importance of models with Recursive Feature Elimination.

• Run a feature selection with Shadow Variable Search.
