"Problem with Feature Selection"

Hello

I am afraid I got you wrong, but:
The decision tree you create is used within the "performance measurement"-process to determine the (sub-)optimal set of features. If you want to create a Decision Tree with the best feature subset you must add something like this (at top level):

    <operator name="AttributeWeightSelection" class="AttributeWeightSelection">
    </operator>
    <operator name="W-J48 (2)" class="W-J48">
    </operator>

hope this was helpful,

Steffen

Hi Steffen,

Let me be more specific 

Originally i would like to know whether the setup on the RM tutorial 12_WrapperValidation.xml  can use a J48 decision tree (instead of JMySVMLearner and Regression Problem) and show the results (ie the Decision Tree) to the output : I changed the setup and i am not able to get the resulting Final  tree (after feature selection)  to the output :

Here is the final setup :


<operator name="Root" class="Process" expanded="yes">
    <operator name="CSVExampleSource" class="CSVExampleSource">
        <parameter key="filename" value="C:\test.csv"/>
        <parameter key="label_name" value="class"/>
    </operator>
    <operator name="WrapperXValidation" class="WrapperXValidation" expanded="yes">
        <parameter key="sampling_type" value="shuffled sampling"/>
        <operator name="FeatureSelection" class="FeatureSelection" expanded="yes">
            <operator name="FSXValidation" class="XValidation" expanded="yes">
                <parameter key="sampling_type" value="shuffled sampling"/>
                <operator name="W-J48" class="W-J48">
                </operator>
                <operator name="FSOperatorChain" class="OperatorChain" expanded="yes">
                    <operator name="FSModelApplier" class="ModelApplier">
                        <list key="application_parameters">
                        </list>
                    </operator>
                    <operator name="ClassificationPerformance" class="ClassificationPerformance">
                        <parameter key="accuracy" value="true"/>
                        <list key="class_weights">
                        </list>
                        <parameter key="classification_error" value="true"/>
                        <parameter key="kappa" value="true"/>
                        <parameter key="spearman_rho" value="true"/>
                        <parameter key="weighted_mean_precision" value="true"/>
                        <parameter key="weighted_mean_recall" value="true"/>
                    </operator>
                    <operator name="FSMinMaxWrapper" class="MinMaxWrapper">
                        <parameter key="minimum_weight" value="0.5"/>
                    </operator>
                </operator>
            </operator>
        </operator>
        <operator name="W-J48 (2)" class="W-J48">
        </operator>
        <operator name="OperatorChain" class="OperatorChain" expanded="yes">
            <operator name="ModelApplier" class="ModelApplier">
                <list key="application_parameters">
                </list>
            </operator>
            <operator name="ClassificationPerformance (2)" class="ClassificationPerformance">
                <parameter key="accuracy" value="true"/>
                <list key="class_weights">
                </list>
                <parameter key="classification_error" value="true"/>
                <parameter key="kappa" value="true"/>
                <parameter key="weighted_mean_recall" value="true"/>
            </operator>
        </operator>
    </operator>
</operator>




Thanks!

Hello again

Hm .. ok  I think I got it now. Since there is no option to build a complete model, you cannot do it "in the same process".

You just have to repeat this part:

<operator name="Root" class="Process" expanded="yes">
    <operator name="FeatureSelection" class="FeatureSelection" expanded="no">
        <operator name="FSXValidation" class="XValidation" expanded="no">
            <parameter key="sampling_type"	value="shuffled sampling"/>
            <operator name="W-J48" class="W-J48">
            </operator>
            <operator name="FSOperatorChain" class="OperatorChain" expanded="yes">
                <operator name="FSModelApplier" class="ModelApplier">
                    <list key="application_parameters">
                    </list>
                </operator>
                <operator name="ClassificationPerformance" class="ClassificationPerformance">
                    <parameter key="accuracy"	value="true"/>
                    <list key="class_weights">
                    </list>
                    <parameter key="classification_error"	value="true"/>
                    <parameter key="kappa"	value="true"/>
                    <parameter key="spearman_rho"	value="true"/>
                    <parameter key="weighted_mean_precision"	value="true"/>
                    <parameter key="weighted_mean_recall"	value="true"/>
                </operator>
                <operator name="FSMinMaxWrapper" class="MinMaxWrapper">
                    <parameter key="minimum_weight"	value="0.5"/>
                </operator>
            </operator>
        </operator>
    </operator>
    <operator name="AttributeWeightSelection" class="AttributeWeightSelection">
    </operator>
    <operator name="W-J48 (2)" class="W-J48">
    </operator>
</operator>

because this is exactly what "build complete model" does/would do.

hope this was helpful,

Steffen

Dear Steffen,



It worked GREAT! Thanks again
