This package provides functions for selecting attributes from a given dataset. Attribute subset selection is the process of identifying and removing as much of the irrelevant and redundant information as possible.

This package provides functions for sequencing studies allowing for multiple functional annotation scores. Score type tests and an efficient perturbation method are used for individual gene/large gene-set/genome wide analysis. Only summary statistics are needed.

Has two functions to help with calculating feature selection stability. Lump is a function that groups subset vectors into a dataframe, and adds NA to shorter vectors so they all have the same length. ASM is a function that takes a dataframe of subset vectors and the original vector of features as inputs, and calculates the Stability of the feature selection. The calculation for asm uses the Adjusted Stability Measure proposed in: Lustgarten', Gopalakrishnan', & Visweswaran (2009)<https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2815476/>.

This package performs fast detection of interactions in large-scale data using the method of random intersection trees introduced in Shah, R. D. and Meinshausen, N. (2014) <http://www.jmlr.org/papers/v15/shah14a.html>. The algorithm finds potentially high-order interactions in high-dimensional binary two-class classification data, without requiring lower order interactions to be informative. The search is particularly fast when the matrices of predictors are sparse. It can also be used to perform market basket analysis when supplied with a single binary data matrix. Here it will find collections of columns which for many rows contain all 1's.

Rcpp (free of Java'/'Weka') implementation of FSelector entropy-based feature selection algorithms based on an MDL discretization (Fayyad U. M., Irani K. B.: Multi-Interval Discretization of Continuous-Valued Attributes for Classification Learning. In 13'th International Joint Conference on Uncertainly in Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI93), pages 1022-1029, Chambery, France, 1993.) <https://www.ijcai.org/Proceedings/93-2/Papers/022.pdf> with a sparse matrix support.
