KendallHeuristic {D2MCS}

Feature-clustering based on Kendall Correlation Test.

Description

Performs the feature-clustering using Kendall correlation tests.

Details

The method estimate the association between paired samples and compute a test of the value being zero. They use different measures of association, all in the range [-1, 1] with 0 indicating no association. Method valid only for bi-class problems.
