Final results - MSc Thesis
Which Feature Rankers are best? In this experiment, we test feature rankers on various datasets to find out. Both real-world and synthetic datasets are included. This dashboard shows the results.

Experimental results for the `Synclf hard' dataset
ReliefF performance
This first experiment shows the results for just one ranker, on one dataset: ReliefF on Synclf hard.

Experimental results for all datasets
Experiments run on all feature rankers and all datasets. Overview plots.
Mean validation scores
Plot for both regression- and classification. Use the wheel to select different validators or tasks:

^ click this wheel in the chart

^ choose between different validators and dataset tasks.
Note the color scale is currently broken for regression: ignore the color in that case. This is due to the negative values in the R2 score. Also, the validators considered are DT and k-NN. k-NN is classification-only so is not available for regression datasets.

Synthetic datasets
For these datasets, the ground-truth feature importance is available. This allows us to compute the and Log loss scores.

Learning curve and time complexity
In this separate experiment, the accuracy and fitting time was recorded with increasing sample sizes.

Evaluation metric correlation
Extra section. Examines the correlation between evaluation metrics.
In this chart, we examine the correlation between Log loss, and the mean validation score.
Synclf medium w/ DT

For the above dataset, the metrics correlate pretty well. This is not always the case, however:
Synclf very hard w/ DT
