[R] Packages for Learning Algorithm Independent Branch and Bound for Feature Selection

2017-06-29 Thread Alex Byrley
I am looking for packages that can run a branch-and-bound algorithm to maximize a distance measure (such as Bhattacharyya or Mahalanobis) on a set of features. I would like this to be learning algorithm independent, so that the method just looks at the features, and selects the subset of a user-de
