FW/BW Selection with predefined Attribute set?

Fred,

have a look on this article: http://community.rapidminer.com/t5/RapidMiner-Studio-Knowledge-Base/Feature-Selection-mandatory-columns/ta-p/33050

I thought this process just shows how to ignore attributes, the first 2 (a1,a2) are ignored when doing fw-selection, and later just added to the found attributes from fw-selection, or will the fw-selection take into account the a1 and a2 attributes and start from there? I dont think so...

I put breakpoints at x-validation, and it shows a3, a4 attribute and adds only a1 and a2 at the end of the process..

In the example if you add a break point before SVM learner operator , you will notice it trains on a1,a2 and other other columns, based on selection.

ok you are right,

its just weird that the feature names lag behind the process.. e.g for the corresponding row of squared error 154 the attribute is a3.. however this resulted from testing a4... and so on
