Conditional Inference Forests show strong performance in feature selection

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Researchers have developed Conditional Inference Trees (CIT) and Conditional Inference Forests (CIF) as methods for feature selection in machine learning. While these methods can be computationally intensive due to repeated permutation tests and threshold searches, the study demonstrates their effectiveness as top-k feature-ranking methods. Experiments show that CIF ranks highly among existing classification and regression methods, and runtime analyses suggest that adaptive stopping and the number of thresholds searched significantly impact fitting time.
