Which algorithm has been implemented in the forward selection (feature selection) operator?

Hi there, I was wondering if anybody knows which algorithm has been implemented in the feature selection forward operator. I am asking because I am writing a paper and use this operator to come up with a set of features. I already know how forward selection works and it works fine, but it would be great to cite the paper which has been used to implement the algorithm.

    Phew.  That was a long time ago.  Since the algorithm is not THAT complex, I am assuming that we did not follow any particular paper when we implemented this.  But if I remember correctly, the following was pretty much one of the first papers I read on that topic so it is safe to assume that we got some inspiration at least from there:

    R. Kohavi and G. John. Wrappers for feature selection.Artificial Intelligence, 97(1-2):273–324,December 1997.

    Hope this helps,
    Ingo
