Fits a model and removes the weakest feature(s) until a specified number of features are left
What is the significance of larger coefficients (in absolute value) in linear regression?
They imply a greater impact on the target variable

To improve model performance and reduce overfitting
Study Notes
Feature Selection
- The brute force method involves evaluating all possible combinations of features.
- Recursive Feature Elimination (RFE) is a method that recursively eliminates the weakest feature until a specified number of features is reached.
Linear Regression Coefficients
- Larger coefficients (in absolute value) in linear regression indicate greater importance of the corresponding feature in predicting the target variable.
Model Evaluation
- The adjusted R-squared ($A_{adjusted R^2}$) equation is used to evaluate the goodness of fit of a model, with 'p' representing the number of predictors or features.
- Feature selection is important for a model because it helps prevent overfitting, reduces dimensionality, and improves model interpretability.
Learn about the importance of feature selection in machine learning, and how it can enhance model performance, reduce overfitting, and improve interpretability. Explore common methods for identifying the most significant features for your model.
