About

Maintained by Miron B. KursaFirst published 2017-11-2014 releasesCRAN page ↗GitLab ↗

A toolbox of fast, native and parallel implementations of various information-based importance criteria estimators and feature selection filters based on them, inspired by the overview by Brown, Pocock, Zhao and Lujan (2012) https://www.jmlr.org/papers/v13/brown12a.html. Contains, among other, minimum redundancy maximal relevancy ('mRMR') method by Peng, Long and Ding (2005) doi:10.1109/TPAMI.2005.159; joint mutual information ('JMI') method by Yang and Moody (1999) https://papers.nips.cc/paper/1779-data-visualization-and-feature-selection-new-algorithms-for-nongaussian-data; double input symmetrical relevance ('DISR') method by Meyer and Bontempi (2006) doi:10.1007/11732242_9 as well as joint mutual information maximisation ('JMIM') method by Bennasar, Hicks and Setchi (2015) doi:10.1016/j.eswa.2015.07.007.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash

  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-praznik

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-praznik
