Research on Hybrid Feature Selection Method Based on Iterative Approximation Markov Blanket.

The basic experimental data of traditional Chinese medicine are generally obtained by high-performance liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. The data often show the characteristics of high dimensionality and few samples, and there are many irrelevant features and redundant features in the data, which bring challenges to the in-depth exploration of Chinese medicine material information. A hybrid feature selection method based on iterative approximate Markov blanket (CI_AMB) is proposed in the paper.

Feature Selection Method Based on Partial Least Squares and Analysis of Traditional Chinese Medicine Data.

The partial least squares method has many advantages in multivariable linear regression, but it does not include the function of feature selection. This method cannot screen for the best feature subset (referred to in this study as the "Gold Standard") or optimize the model, although contrarily using the L1 norm can achieve the sparse representation of parameters, leading to feature selection. In this study, a feature selection method based on partial least squares is proposed.
