ToolDiag: Feature selection software for improving classifiers.

areas/neural/systems/tooldiag/
ToolDiag is a feature selection program that increases the accuracy of classifiers and reduces their complexity by providing them with a subset containing only the most relevant features. It has interfaces to LVQ_PAK and SNNS, and uses a data file format that is compatible with that of LVQ_PAK. The 2-d graphics can be displayed using the GNUPLOT plotting package. ToolDiag implements many concepts from Devijver and Kittler's book "Pattern Recognition -- A Statistical Approach" (Prentice Hall, 1982), including the optimal branch and bound search strategy, together with several different selection criteria. ToolDiag can also perform an error estimation using the leave-one-out method and a K-nearest-neighbor classifier. It also includes a learning module (Q*) that has the same functionality as LVQ. ToolDiag cannot handle missing values and requires continuous or ordered discrete numerical features.
