"""Transformer that performs Sequential Feature Selection.
|
|
|
|
This Sequential Feature Selector adds (forward selection) or
|
|
removes (backward selection) features to form a feature subset in a
|
|
greedy fashion. At each stage, this estimator chooses the best feature to
|
|
add or remove based on the cross-validation score of an estimator. In
|
|
the case of unsupervised learning, this Sequential Feature Selector
|
|
looks only at the features (X), not the desired outputs (y).

|

.. versionadded:: 0.24

|
|
Parameters
|
|
----------
|
|
estimator : estimator instance
|
|
An unfitted estimator.
|
|
|
|
n_features_to_select : "auto", int or float, default="auto"
|
|
If `"auto"`, the behaviour depends on the `tol` parameter:
|
|
|
|
- if `tol` is not `None`, then features are selected while the score
|
|
change does not exceed `tol`.
|
|
- otherwise, half of the features are selected.
|
|
|
|
If integer, the parameter is the absolute number of features to select.
|
|
If float between 0 and 1, it is the fraction of features to select.
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 1.1
|
|
The option `"auto"` was added in version 1.1.
|
|
|
|
.. versionchanged:: 1.3
|
|
The default changed from `"warn"` to `"auto"` in 1.3.
|
|
|
|
tol : float, default=None
|
|
If the score is not incremented by at least `tol` between two
|
|
consecutive feature additions or removals, stop adding or removing.
|
|
|
|
`tol` can be negative when removing features using `direction="backward"`.
|
|
It can be useful to reduce the number of features at the cost of a small
|
|
decrease in the score.
|
|
|
|
`tol` is enabled only when `n_features_to_select` is `"auto"`.
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 1.1
|
|
|
|
direction : {'forward', 'backward'}, default='forward'
|
|
Whether to perform forward selection or backward selection.
|
|
|
|
scoring : str or callable, default=None
|
|
A single str (see :ref:`scoring_parameter`) or a callable
|
|
(see :ref:`scoring`) to evaluate the predictions on the test set.
|
|
|
|
NOTE that when using a custom scorer, it should return a single
|
|
value.
|
|
|
|
If None, the estimator's score method is used.
|
|
|
|
cv : int, cross-validation generator or an iterable, default=None
|
|
Determines the cross-validation splitting strategy.
|
|
Possible inputs for cv are:
|
|
|
|
- None, to use the default 5-fold cross validation,
|
|
- integer, to specify the number of folds in a `(Stratified)KFold`,
|
|
- :term:`CV splitter`,
|
|
- An iterable yielding (train, test) splits as arrays of indices.
|
|
|
|
For integer/None inputs, if the estimator is a classifier and ``y`` is
|
|
either binary or multiclass,
|
|
:class:`~sklearn.model_selection.StratifiedKFold` is used. In all other
|
|
cases, :class:`~sklearn.model_selection.KFold` is used. These splitters
|
|
are instantiated with `shuffle=False` so the splits will be the same
|
|
across calls.
|
|
|
|
Refer :ref:`User Guide <cross_validation>` for the various
|
|
cross-validation strategies that can be used here.
|
|
|
|
n_jobs : int, default=None
|
|
Number of jobs to run in parallel. When evaluating a new feature to
|
|
add or remove, the cross-validation procedure is parallel over the
|
|
folds.
|
|
``None`` means 1 unless in a :obj:`joblib.parallel_backend` context.
|
|
``-1`` means using all processors. See :term:`Glossary <n_jobs>`
|
|
for more details.
|
|
|
|
Attributes
|
|
----------
|
|
n_features_in_ : int
|
|
Number of features seen during :term:`fit`. Only defined if the
|
|
underlying estimator exposes such an attribute when fit.
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 0.24
|
|
|
|
feature_names_in_ : ndarray of shape (`n_features_in_`,)
|
|
Names of features seen during :term:`fit`. Defined only when `X`
|
|
has feature names that are all strings.
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 1.0
|
|
|
|
n_features_to_select_ : int
|
|
The number of features that were selected.
|
|
|
|
support_ : ndarray of shape (n_features,), dtype=bool
|
|
The mask of selected features.
|
|
|
