x |
a matrix or data frame with the performance metric of interest |
metric |
a character string with the name of the performance metric that should be used to choose the appropriate number of variables |
maximize |
a logical; should the metric be maximized? |
tol |
a scalar to denote the acceptable difference in optimal performance (see Details below) |
y |
a list of data frames with variables Overall and var |
size |
an integer for the number of variables to retain |
This page describes the functions that are used in backwards selection (aka recursive
feature elimination). The funcitons described here are passed to the algorithm via the
functions argument of rfeControl.
See rfeControl for details on how these functions should be defined.
