mlr_filters_jmi: Joint Mutual Information Filter

In mlr3filters: Filter Based Feature Selection for 'mlr3'

Joint Mutual Information Filter

Description

Joint mutual information filter calling praznik::JMI() in package praznik.

This filter supports partial scoring (see Filter).

Details

As the scores calculated by the praznik package are not monotone due to the greedy forward fashion, the returned scores simply reflect the selection order: 1, (k-1)/k, ..., 1/k where k is the number of selected features.

Threading is disabled by default (hyperparameter threads is set to 1). Set to a number >= 2 to enable threading, or to 0 for auto-detecting the number of available cores.
