Feature Screening with Conditional Rank Utility for Big-Data Classification
基于条件秩效用的大数据分类特征筛选
Feature screening is a commonly used strategy to eliminate irrelevant features in high-dimensional classification. When one encounters big datasets with both high dimensionality and huge sample size, the conventional screening methods become computationally costly or even infeasible. In this article, we introduce a novel screening utility, Conditional Rank Utility (CRU), and propose a distributed feature screening procedure for the big-data classification. The proposed CRU…
