Average Weights using several Techniques

bhupendra_patil

This Building Block takes an exampleset as input and calculates Weights using 4 different techniques 

Information Gain, Information Gain Ratio, Gini Index and Correlation.

It then it averages the weights calculated by each of these methods and provides a normalized score 

between 0 and 1

 

Input 1: Data Set with a Lable column

Output : Example set with Weights.

 

Can be easily adopted to add other weighing techniques

Hi.

 

I am interested to know if this process has any scientific validation or if this is an arbitrary method? Has this process been created by yourself or is it from another source?

 

Thanks,

Chris
