Introduction

Pathfinder is a innovative feature selection method based on the Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithm.

Pathfinder is in continuous developing and improving, so the actual version is composed of a filter approach and a randomized search heuristic.

There are 2 main classes in this method:

• featureselector: refers to the main algorithm class and their functions.

• ant: refers to the ant class.

Each class is documented in its corresponding section, the installation is detailed in Installation and the usage of the program is explained in the Usage.
