C-FOCUS: A continuous extension of FOCUS

This paper deals with the problem of feature selection. Almuallim and Dieterich [1] developed the FOCUS algorithm which performs optimal feature selection on boolean domains. In this paper an extension of FOCUS is developed to deal with discrete and continuous features. The extension, C-FOCUS, is verified on an artificial geometric figure classification problem and a real world classification problem.
