Which of the following selects only a subset of features belonging to a certain percentile

selectpercentile
featurehasher
selectkbest
all above

The correct answer is A. selectpercentile.

selectpercentile is a function in scikit-learn that selects only a subset of features belonging to a certain percentile. It takes two arguments: the percentile and the number of features to select. The percentile is a number between 0 and 100, and the number of features is an integer. For example, to select the top 10% of features, you would use the following code:

“`
from sklearn.feature_selection import selectpercentile

features = selectpercentile(features, 10)
“`

This would return a new DataFrame with only the top 10% of features.

featurehasher is a function in scikit-learn that converts features to a hash representation. This can be useful for dimensionality reduction or for speeding up feature selection algorithms.

selectkbest is a function in scikit-learn that selects the k best features according to a certain criterion. The criterion can be any function that takes a feature vector and returns a score. For example, you could use the following code to select the k best features according to their mean value:

“`
from sklearn.feature_selection import selectkbest

features = selectkbest(features, k=10, criterion=’mean’)
“`

This would return a new DataFrame with only the 10 features with the highest mean values.
