Classes and Methods to Use Genetic Algorithms for Feature Selection

v2.2.1 · Apr 7, 2025 · Apache License (== 2.0)

Description

Defines classes and methods that can be used to implement genetic algorithms for feature selection. The idea is that we want to select a fixed number of features to combine into a linear classifier that can predict a binary outcome, and can use a genetic algorithm heuristically to select an optimal set of features.
