Feature selection increases cross-validation imprecision Conference Paper uri icon

abstract

  • Even without feature selection, cross-validation error estimation is problematic for small samples owing to the high variance of the deviation distribution describing the difference between the estimated and true errors. This paper investigates the increased loss of cross-validation precision owing to feature selection by comparing deviation distributions and introducing two variation-based measures to quantify the further degradation in performance. 2006 IEEE.
