Feature Selection

Selecting features on the full dataset is a form of lookahead bias. The test set influences which features are kept, inflating out-of-sample performance. Feature selection must happen inside each CV fold.

The Problem

With 50 features and a finite sample, some will correlate with forward returns by chance alone. If you rank features by IC on the full dataset and keep the top 10, those 10 are partly selected for noise. Out-of-sample, the noise component vanishes and the model underperforms expectations.

The Pattern

WRONG

from scipy.stats import spearmanr
import numpy as np

# Feature selection on full dataset - leaks test-set information
ic_scores = {col: abs(spearmanr(X[col], y).statistic) for col in X.columns}
selected = sorted(ic_scores, key=ic_scores.get, reverse=True)[:20]
model.fit(X[selected], y)

CORRECT

from scipy.stats import spearmanr
from sklearn.model_selection import TimeSeriesSplit
import numpy as np

tscv = TimeSeriesSplit(n_splits=5)
for train_idx, test_idx in tscv.split(X):
    X_train, y_train = X[train_idx], y[train_idx]

    # Select features using ONLY training data
    ic_scores = {
        col: abs(spearmanr(X_train[:, i], y_train).statistic)
        for i, col in enumerate(feature_names)
    }
    selected = sorted(ic_scores, key=ic_scores.get, reverse=True)[:20]
    sel_idx = [feature_names.index(f) for f in selected]

    model.fit(X_train[:, sel_idx], y_train)
    preds = model.predict(X[test_idx][:, sel_idx])

Selection Methods

Method	Type	When to Use
IC ranking	Univariate	Quick filter, large feature set
Mutual information	Univariate	Non-linear relationships
L1 regularization	Embedded	During training (Lasso, ElasticNet)
SHAP importance	Model-based	After training, interpretation
Recursive feature elimination	Wrapper	Small feature set, expensive

Collinearity Removal (Pre-Selection)

import numpy as np

def remove_collinear(corr_matrix: np.ndarray, feature_names: list, threshold: float = 0.8) -> list:
    """Drop one feature from each highly correlated pair."""
    to_drop = set()
    for i in range(len(feature_names)):
        for j in range(i + 1, len(feature_names)):
            if abs(corr_matrix[i, j]) > threshold:
                to_drop.add(feature_names[j])
    return [f for f in feature_names if f not in to_drop]

Selection Stability Diagnostic

# Track which features are selected across folds
from collections import Counter
fold_selections = Counter()
for train_idx, _ in tscv.split(X):
    selected = select_top_k(X[train_idx], y[train_idx], k=20)
    fold_selections.update(selected)

# Features selected in <50% of folds are unstable - likely noise
stable = [f for f, count in fold_selections.items() if count >= len(list(tscv.split(X))) // 2]

Guardrails

Selection inside CV is non-negotiable - any global selection is lookahead bias
Stability across folds matters - a feature selected in 1/5 folds is noise
IC > 0.1 is suspicious - investigate for leakage before trusting
Collinearity removal is safe pre-CV - it uses only feature-feature correlation, not the target
Log your search set - each knob (lookback, threshold, feature family) multiplies candidates; apply Benjamini-Hochberg FDR when comparing selections

Production Implementation

ml4t-diagnostic provides a validated feature selection pipeline:

from ml4t.diagnostic.selection import FeatureSelector, SelectionReport

selector = FeatureSelector(outcome_results, correlation_matrix)
selector.filter_by_ic(threshold=0.02).filter_by_correlation(threshold=0.8)
report: SelectionReport = selector.get_selection_report()
selected_features = report.final_features

Checklist

Feature selection happens inside each CV fold, never on the full dataset
Collinearity removed first (threshold 0.7-0.8)
Selection stability checked across folds (>50% agreement)
No feature with IC > 0.1 accepted without leakage investigation
Selected feature set documented and versioned

    model.fit(X_train[:, sel_idx], y_train)
    preds = model.predict(X[test_idx][:, sel_idx])
```

Copying is not installation or a successful run. Check dependencies, API costs and permissions before proceeding.

Listed tools are metadata hints, not tested compatibility. Agent prompts are suggested handoffs.

Start with one small task

1Read the source. Confirm the input, expected output, dependencies and permissions.
2Ask your agent for a plan. Approve setup and any costs before running a small isolated test.
3Check the output and changed files. Report only what actually ran; keep the source revision for reproduction.

Check the source for dependencies, API keys and third-party costs. A public repository does not mean every service is free.

Feature Selection

The Problem

The Pattern

WRONG

from scipy.stats import spearmanr
import numpy as np

# Feature selection on full dataset - leaks test-set information
ic_scores = {col: abs(spearmanr(X[col], y).statistic) for col in X.columns}
selected = sorted(ic_scores, key=ic_scores.get, reverse=True)[:20]
model.fit(X[selected], y)

CORRECT

from scipy.stats import spearmanr
from sklearn.model_selection import TimeSeriesSplit
import numpy as np

tscv = TimeSeriesSplit(n_splits=5)
for train_idx, test_idx in tscv.split(X):
    X_train, y_train = X[train_idx], y[train_idx]

    # Select features using ONLY training data
    ic_scores = {
        col: abs(spearmanr(X_train[:, i], y_train).statistic)
        for i, col in enumerate(feature_names)
    }
    selected = sorted(ic_scores, key=ic_scores.get, reverse=True)[:20]
    sel_idx = [feature_names.index(f) for f in selected]

    model.fit(X_train[:, sel_idx], y_train)
    preds = model.predict(X[test_idx][:, sel_idx])

Selection Methods

Method	Type	When to Use
IC ranking	Univariate	Quick filter, large feature set
Mutual information	Univariate	Non-linear relationships
L1 regularization	Embedded	During training (Lasso, ElasticNet)
SHAP importance	Model-based	After training, interpretation
Recursive feature elimination	Wrapper	Small feature set, expensive

Collinearity Removal (Pre-Selection)

import numpy as np

def remove_collinear(corr_matrix: np.ndarray, feature_names: list, threshold: float = 0.8) -> list:
    """Drop one feature from each highly correlated pair."""
    to_drop = set()
    for i in range(len(feature_names)):
        for j in range(i + 1, len(feature_names)):
            if abs(corr_matrix[i, j]) > threshold:
                to_drop.add(feature_names[j])
    return [f for f in feature_names if f not in to_drop]

Selection Stability Diagnostic

# Track which features are selected across folds
from collections import Counter
fold_selections = Counter()
for train_idx, _ in tscv.split(X):
    selected = select_top_k(X[train_idx], y[train_idx], k=20)
    fold_selections.update(selected)

# Features selected in <50% of folds are unstable - likely noise
stable = [f for f, count in fold_selections.items() if count >= len(list(tscv.split(X))) // 2]

Guardrails

Selection inside CV is non-negotiable - any global selection is lookahead bias
Stability across folds matters - a feature selected in 1/5 folds is noise
IC > 0.1 is suspicious - investigate for leakage before trusting
Collinearity removal is safe pre-CV - it uses only feature-feature correlation, not the target
Log your search set - each knob (lookback, threshold, feature family) multiplies candidates; apply Benjamini-Hochberg FDR when comparing selections

Production Implementation

ml4t-diagnostic provides a validated feature selection pipeline:

from ml4t.diagnostic.selection import FeatureSelector, SelectionReport

selector = FeatureSelector(outcome_results, correlation_matrix)
selector.filter_by_ic(threshold=0.02).filter_by_correlation(threshold=0.8)
report: SelectionReport = selector.get_selection_report()
selected_features = report.final_features

Checklist

Feature selection happens inside each CV fold, never on the full dataset
Collinearity removed first (threshold 0.7-0.8)
Selection stability checked across folds (>50% agreement)
No feature with IC > 0.1 accepted without leakage investigation
Selected feature set documented and versioned

# Feature Selection

Selecting features on the full dataset is a form of lookahead bias. The test set influences which features are kept, inflating out-of-sample performance. Feature selection must happen inside each CV fold.

## The Problem

With 50 features and a finite sample, some will correlate with forward returns by chance alone. If you rank features by IC on the full dataset and keep the top 10, those 10 are partly selected for noise. Out-of-sample, the noise component vanishes and the model underperforms expectations.

## The Pattern

### WRONG
```python
from scipy.stats import spearmanr
import numpy as np

# Feature selection on full dataset - leaks test-set information
ic_scores = {col: abs(spearmanr(X[col], y).statistic) for col in X.columns}
selected = sorted(ic_scores, key=ic_scores.get, reverse=True)[:20]
model.fit(X[selected], y)
```

### CORRECT
```python
from scipy.stats import spearmanr
from sklearn.model_selection import TimeSeriesSplit
import numpy as np

tscv = TimeSeriesSplit(n_splits=5)
for train_idx, test_idx in tscv.split(X):
    X_train, y_train = X[train_idx], y[train_idx]

    # Select features using ONLY training data
    ic_scores = {
        col: abs(spearmanr(X_train[:, i], y_train).statistic)
        for i, col in enumerate(feature_names)
    }
    selected = sorted(ic_scores, key=ic_scores.get, reverse=True)[:20]
    sel_idx = [feature_names.index(f) for f in selected]

    model.fit(X_train[:, sel_idx], y_train)
    preds = model.predict(X[test_idx][:, sel_idx])
```

## Selection Methods

| Method | Type | When to Use |
|--------|------|-------------|
| IC ranking | Univariate | Quick filter, large feature set |
| Mutual information | Univariate | Non-linear relationships |
| L1 regularization | Embedded | During training (Lasso, ElasticNet) |
| SHAP importance | Model-based | After training, interpretation |
| Recursive feature elimination | Wrapper | Small feature set, expensive |

## Collinearity Removal (Pre-Selection)

```python
import numpy as np

def remove_collinear(corr_matrix: np.ndarray, feature_names: list, threshold: float = 0.8) -> list:
    """Drop one feature from each highly correlated pair."""
    to_drop = set()
    for i in range(len(feature_names)):
        for j in range(i + 1, len(feature_names)):
            if abs(corr_matrix[i, j]) > threshold:
                to_drop.add(feature_names[j])
    return [f for f in feature_names if f not in to_drop]
```

## Selection Stability Diagnostic

```python
# Track which features are selected across folds
from collections import Counter
fold_selections = Counter()
for train_idx, _ in tscv.split(X):
    selected = select_top_k(X[train_idx], y[train_idx], k=20)
    fold_selections.update(selected)

# Features selected in <50% of folds are unstable - likely noise
stable = [f for f, count in fold_selections.items() if count >= len(list(tscv.split(X))) // 2]
```

## Guardrails

- **Selection inside CV is non-negotiable** - any global selection is lookahead bias
- **Stability across folds matters** - a feature selected in 1/5 folds is noise
- **IC > 0.1 is suspicious** - investigate for leakage before trusting
- **Collinearity removal is safe pre-CV** - it uses only feature-feature correlation, not the target
- **Log your search set** - each knob (lookback, threshold, feature family) multiplies candidates; apply Benjamini-Hochberg FDR when comparing selections

```python
from ml4t.diagnostic.selection import FeatureSelector, SelectionReport

selector = FeatureSelector(outcome_results, correlation_matrix)
selector.filter_by_ic(threshold=0.02).filter_by_correlation(threshold=0.8)
report: SelectionReport = selector.get_selection_report()
selected_features = report.final_features
```

After setup, propose one small task with explicit inputs and expected output for the user to approve. Do not treat copying this prompt or successful installation as proof that the task succeeded."
