Abstract
We develop an approach for feature elimination in statistical learning with kernel machines, based on recursive elimination of features. We present theoretical properties of this method and show that it is uniformly consistent in finding the correct feature space under certain generalized assumptions. We present a few case studies to show that the assumptions are met in most practical situations and present simulation results to demonstrate performance of the proposed approach.
期刊介绍:
The Annals of Statistics aim to publish research papers of highest quality reflecting the many facets of contemporary statistics. Primary emphasis is placed on importance and originality, not on formalism. The journal aims to cover all areas of statistics, especially mathematical statistics and applied & interdisciplinary statistics. Of course many of the best papers will touch on more than one of these general areas, because the discipline of statistics has deep roots in mathematics, and in substantive scientific fields.
