LinearRegression does not do any feature selection by default but you can do univariate feature selection upstream and then do LinearRegression only on the informative features or alternatively use a L1 penalized regression (e.g. Lasso or LassoLARS). http://scikit-learn.org/dev/modules/feature_selection.html -- Olivier http://twitter.com/ogrisel - http://github.com/ogrisel ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
