Feature agglomeration vs. univariate selection#
This example compares 2 dimensionality reduction strategies:
univariate feature selection with Anova
feature agglomeration with Ward hierarchical clustering
Both methods are compared in a regression problem using a BayesianRidge as supervised estimator.
