Play an AI-generated podcast conversation about this lesson

What is the primary goal of feature selection in predictive modeling?

To visualize high-dimensional data

To identify the most relevant features to predict a target variable (correct)

To increase the accuracy of the model

To reduce the number of features in the dataset

What is the purpose of ranking features based on their chi-squared scores in the filter method?

To eliminate the least contributing features
