## Measures

In MtL, meta-features are designed to extract general properties able to characterize datasets. The meta-feature values should provide relevant evidences about the performance of algorithms, allowing the design of MtL-based recommendation systems. Thus, these measures must be able to predict, with a low computational cost, the performance of the algorithms under evaluation. In this package, the meta-feature measures are divided into five groups:
In MtL, meta-features are designed to extract general properties able to characterize datasets. The meta-feature values should provide relevant evidences about the performance of algorithms, allowing the design of MtL-based recommendation systems. Thus, these measures must be able to predict, with a low computational cost, the performance of the algorithms under evaluation. In this package, the meta-feature measures are divided into six groups:

* **General**: General information related to the dataset, also known as simple measures, such as number of instances, attributes and classes.
* **Statistical**: Standard statistical measures to describe the numerical properties of a distribution of data.
* **Information-theoretic**: Particularly appropriate to describe discrete (categorical) attributes and their relationship with the classes.
* **Model-based**: Measures designed to extract characteristics like the depth, the shape and size of a Decision Tree (DT) model induced from a dataset.
* **Landmarking**: Represents the performance of simple and efficient learning algorithms.
* **Relative Landmarking**: Represents the relative landmarking meta-features with ranking strategy.
