Feature Engineering and Selection

The process of developing predictive models includes many stages. Most resources focus on the modeling algorithms but neglect other critical aspects of the modeling process. This book describes techniques for finding the best representations of predictors for modeling and for nding the best subset of predictors for improving model performance.

Procesul de dezvoltare a modelelor predictive include multe etape. Majoritatea resurselor se concentreaza pe algoritmii de modelare, dar neglijeaza alte aspecte critice ale procesului de modelare.
