• docs: Update resources sections.
• docs: Add list of default measures.

mlr3fselect 0.10.0

• feat: Add callback mlr3fselect.svm_rfe to run recursive feature elimination on linear support vector machines.
• refactor: The importance scores in FSelectorRFE are now aggregated by rank instead of averaging them.
• feat: Add FSelectorRFECV optimizer to run recursive feature elimination with cross-validation.
• refactor: FSelectorRFE works without store_models = TRUE now.
• feat: The as.data.table.ArchiveFSelect() function additionally returns a character vector of selected features for each row.
• refactor: Add callbacks argument to fsi() function.

mlr3fselect 0.8.0

• refactor: FSelectorRFE throws an error if the learner does not support the $importance() method.
• refactor: The AutoFSelector stores the instance and benchmark result if store_models = TRUE.
• refactor: The AutoFSelector stores the instance if store_benchmark_result = TRUE.
• feat: Add missing parameters from AutoFSelector to auto_fselect().

mlr3fselect 0.6.1

• Add store_models flag to fselect().
• Remove store_x_domain flag.

mlr3fselect 0.6.0

• Adds AutoFSelector$base_learner() method to extract the base learner from nested learner objects.
• Adds fselect(), auto_fselector() and fselect_nested() sugar functions.
• Adds extract_inner_fselect_results() and extract_inner_fselect_archives() helper function to extract inner feature selection results and archives.

mlr3fselect 0.5.1

• Remove x_domain column from archive.

mlr3fselect 0.5.0

• FSelectorRFE stores importance values of each evaluated feature set in archive.
• ArchiveFSelect$data is a public field now.

mlr3fselect 0.4.1

• Fix bug in AutoFSelector$predict()

mlr3fselect 0.4.0

• Compact in-memory representation of R6 objects to save space when saving mlr3 objects via saveRDS(), serialize() etc.
• FSelectorRFE supports fraction of features to retain in each iteration (feature_fraction), number of features to remove in each iteration (feature_number) and vector of number of features to retain in each iteration (subset_sizes).
• AutoFSelect is renamed to AutoFSelector.
• To retrieve the inner feature selection results in nested resampling, as.data.table(rr)$learner[[1]]$fselect_result must be used now.
• Option to control store_benchmark_result, store_models and check_values in AutoFSelector. store_fselect_instance must be set as a parameter during initialization.
• Adds FSelectorGeneticSearch.

• Removed dependency on orphaned package bibtex.
• PipeOpSelect is internally used for task subsetting.

mlr3fselect 0.3.0
