Abstract
In this paper a method for feature selection based on analysis of variance and using functional networks as induction algorithm is presented. It follows a backward selection search, but several features are discarded in the same step. The method proposed is compared with two SVM based methods, obtaining a smaller set of features with a similar accuracy.
