public class OVO_SVM_RFE
extends SVMBasedMethods

This java class is used to implement OVO_SVM_RFE method for multiclass classification based on SVM_RFE method (support vector machine method based on recursive feature elimination) in which One-Versus-One (OVO) strategy is applied to construct binary classifiers.
