An Overview of Feature Selection Techniques in Statistical Pattern Recognition [file]

The paper gives an overview of feature selection (abbreviated FS in the sequel) techniques in statistical pattern recognition with particular emphasis to recent knowledge. 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 modeling and feature space selection method. Some related issues are illustrated on real data with use of Feature Selection Toolbox software.
