Feature Selection via Coalitional Game Theory
Open accessAbstract
We present and study the contribution-selection algorithm (CSA), a novel algorithm for feature selection. The algorithm is based on the multiperturbation shapley analysis (MSA), a framework that relies on game theory to estimate usefulness. The algorithm iteratively estimates the usefulness of features and selects them accordingly, using either forward selection or backward elimination. It can optimize various performance measures over unseen data such as accuracy, balanced error rate, and area under receiver-operator-characteristic curve. Empirical comparison with several other existing feature selection methods shows that the backward elimination variant of CSA leads to the most accurate classification results on an array of data sets.

The Shapley value provides a solution concept for cooperative games that fairly distributes the rewards among players according to their marginal contributions.
“The Shapley value, introduced by (Shapley 1952; Hart 1989; Cohen, Dror, and Ruppin 2007; Lundberg and Lee 2017; Ghorbani and Zou 2019), provides a solution concept for cooperative games that fairly distributes the rewards among players according to their marginal contributions.”

The Shapley value is a mathematically rigorous method to quantify both individual component contributions and their interaction effects across all possible component configurations.
“Specifically, we use the Shapley value (Shapley 1952; Hart 1989; Cohen, Dror, and Ruppin 2007; Lundberg and Lee 2017; Ghorbani and Zou 2019), a mathematically rigorous method to quantify both individual component contributions and their interaction effects across all possible component configurations.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
