Python implementation of NPFS. It is still under development and is not considered stable. Contact [email protected].

There are types of feature subset selection problems that require that the size of the subset be specied prior to running the selection algorithm. NPFS works with the decisions of a base subset selection algorithm to determine an appropriate number of features to select given an initial starting point. NPFS uses the FEAST feature selection toolbox; however, the approach is not limited to using the this toolbox.
