Feature selection

Feature selection is a way to select important information from a group of things. Imagine you have a group of animals that you need to select from – cats, dogs, birds, and fish. Feature selection would help you decide which animals are important and should be included. You might choose cats, dogs, and birds because they are the most common animals, or you could decide to include fish because it is an interesting choice. The important thing to remember is that feature selection helps you pick the right animals for your project.
