fscaret-package: Automated feature selection caret (fscaret)

Description Details Author(s) References See Also

Description

This package provide fast and automated feature selection based on caret package modeling methods. The main advantage of this extension is that it requires minimum user involvement. Also the variety of used methods in combination with the scaling according to RMSE or MSE obtained from models profit the user. The idea is based on the assumption that the variety of models will balance the roughness of calculations (default model settings are applied). On Windows OS the time limiting function is off, multicore functionalaity is enabled via parLapply() function of package 'parallel'. Acknowledgments:
