Feature Selection algorithm?

[jlara]

Hi,
Can someone tell me or provide a reference about the feature selection (FS) algorithm implemented with naiveBN in Genie. My question is: are variables filtered by an FS method (i.e. preprocessed prior to presentation to the BN) or do they represent the BN choice of variables?
Thanks

Feature selection uses Greedy Thick Thinning (search forum for more info) to first greedily add features and then remove features that maximizes a Bayesian score function.

Mark, thanks for the answer.
