List of available algorithms and cost functions

These are the algorithms and cost functions that currently are available in featsel. This list is updated in the case of inclusion of new algorithms and/or cost functions.

The lists below present each algorithm or cost function accompanied by its respective argument code in the featsel main program, its class name within the source code, and a reference to the publication in which it was first described.
