MEG Mind Reading: Strategies for Feature Selection

The regularized logistic regression classifier has shown good performance in problems where feature selection is critical, including our recent winning submissions to the ICANN2011 MEG mind reading challenge [Huttunen et al. 2011; Huttunen et al. 2012], and to the DREAM 6 AML classification challenge [Manninen et al. 2011].
