Features

Features are the elements (fields) of the data. Four categories of features are defined:

  • keep_features: The features you want to retain from the data.
  • drop_features: The features you want to discard from the data.
  • generated_features: Features created by composing existing features. These are defined as functions, e.g.
    generated_feature = keep_feature1 * keep_feature2 - keep_feature3
  • target_feature: The target feature of your data.

All of the above categories are optional. If the user does not specify either keep_features or generated_features, Beaver will retain all features from the data by default.
