NAME

Algorithm::FeatureSelection -

SYNOPSIS

  use Algorithm::FeatureSelection;
  my $fs = Algorithm::FeatureSelection->new();

  # feature-class data structure ...
  my $features = {
    feature_1 => {
        class_a => 10,
        class_b => 2,
    },
    feature_2 => {
        class_b => 11,
        class_d => 32
    },
          .
          .
          .
  };

  # get pairwise-mutula-information
  my $pmi = $fs->pairwise_mutual_information($features);
  my $pmi = $fs->pmi($features); # same above

  # get information-gain 
  my $ig = $fs->information_gain($features);
  my $ig = $fs->ig($features); # same above

DESCRIPTION

This library is an perl implementation of 'Pairwaise Mutual Information' and 'Information Gain' that are used as well-known method of feature selection on text mining fields.

METHOD

new()

information_gain( $features )

  my $features = {
    feature_1 => {
        class_a => 10,
        class_b => 2,
    },
    feature_2 => {
        class_b => 11,
        class_d => 32
    },
          .
          .
          .
  };
  my $fs = Algorithm::FeatureSelection->new();
  my $ig = $fs->information_gain($features);

ig( $features )

short name of information_gain()

information_gain_ratio( $features )

  my $features = {
    feature_1 => {
        class_a => 10,
        class_b => 2,
    },
    feature_2 => {
        class_b => 11,
        class_d => 32
    },
          .
          .
          .
  };
  my $fs = Algorithm::FeatureSelection->new();
  my $igr = $fs->information_gain_ratio($features);

igr( $features )

short name of information_gain_ratio()

pairwise_mutual_information( $features )

  my $features = {
    feature_1 => {
        class_a => 10,
        class_b => 2,
    },
    feature_2 => {
        class_b => 11,
        class_d => 32
    },
          .
          .
          .
  };
  my $fs = Algorithm::FeatureSelection->new();
  my $pmi = $fs->pairwise_mutual_information($features);

pmi( $features )

short name of pairwise_mutual_information()

entropy(HASH|ARRAY)

calcurate entropy.
