feture selection

The research report gives an overview of feature selection techniques in statistical pattern recognition with particular emphasis to methods developed by the researchers participating in MATEO Centre of Mechatronics project. Besides discussing the advances in methodology it attempts to put them into a taxonomical framework. The methods discussed include the latest variants of the optimal algorithms, enhanced sub-optimal techniques and the simultaneous semi-parametric probability density function modelling and feature space selection method. Some related issues are illustrated on real data by means of the Feature Selection Toolbox software.
