featureselect 0.0.5

An elegant and effectice solution to get best set of features from a numerical dataset!

Feature Select is a simple yet effective solution to select features from a numeric dataset, which yields the best results, given a Machine Learning algorithm.

Features

• Multiple optimization algorithms to work with.

• Works with most class based Machine Learning models over a range of libraries.

• Compatible with all platforms.

Quickstart

Install the latest Feature Select with

pip install featureselect

Usage

from featureselect import DEOptimizer, SAOptimizer, GAOptimizer, PSOptimizer
from sklearn.tree import DecisionTreeClassifier
import pandas as pd

# loading a dataset
dataset = pd.read_csv("dataset.csv", header=None)
dataset[34] = dataset[34].apply(lambda x: 1 if x == "g" else 0)
dataset = dataset.dropna()
X, y = dataset.iloc[:, :-1].to_numpy(), dataset.iloc[:, -1].to_numpy()

# best_accuracy, index_of_best_features = GAOptimizer((X, y), DecisionTreeClassifier, epochs = 10, threshold=0.6, verbose=1, max_depth=3)
# best_accuracy, index_of_best_features = SAOptimizer((X, y), DecisionTreeClassifier, epochs = 10, threshold=0.6, verbose=True, max_depth=3)
# best_accuracy, index_of_best_features = PSOptimizer((X, y), DecisionTreeClassifier, epochs = 10, verbose=1, max_depth=3)


best_accuracy, index_of_best_features = DEOptimizer((X, y), DecisionTreeClassifier, epochs = 10, threshold=0.6, verbose=1, max_depth=3)
