Performance of several variable-selection methods applied to real ecological data.
I evaluated the predictive ability of statistical models obtained by applying seven methods of variable selection to 12 ecological and environmental data sets. Cross-validation, involving repeated splits of each data set into training and validation subsets, was used to obtain honest estimates of predictive ability that could be fairly compared among methods. There was surprisingly little diffe...
متن کاملA Genomic Selection Index Applied to Simulated and Real Data
A genomic selection index (GSI) is a linear combination of genomic estimated breeding values that uses genomic markers to predict the net genetic merit and select parents from a nonphenotyped testing population. Some authors have proposed a GSI; however, they have not used simulated or real data to validate the GSI theory and have not explained how to estimate the GSI selection response and the...
متن کاملVariable selection methods: an introduction
In order to develop regression/classification models, QSAR analysis typically uses molecular descriptors as independent variables. The number of molecular descriptors has hugely increased over time and nowadays thousands of descriptors, able to describe different aspects of a molecule, can be calculated by means of dedicated software. However, when modelling a particular property or biological ...
متن کاملEvaluating several unsupervised class-selection methods
In knowledge discovery from collected databases, one of the firstly arising questions is ”what should be discovered”. Two lines of work can be followed. In the first line, unsupervised learning is performed, usually clustering data, followed by a characterization of the discovered knowledge. In the second line, classifiers are constructed for each highly important feature registered in the data...
