Python Interface to the FEAST Feature Selection Toolbox

About
====
This set of scripts provides an interface to the FEAST feature selection
toolbox, originally written in C with a Mex interface to Matlab. Python 
2.7 is required, along with Numpy. The feast.py module provides an inter-
face to all the functionality of the FEAST implementation that was provided
with the original Matlab interface. 

Installation
====
To install the FEAST interface, you'll need to build and install the libraries 
first, and then install python.

Make MIToolbox and install it:

$ cd FEAST/MIToolbox
$ make
$ sudo make install

Make FSToolbox and install it:

$ cd FEAST/FSToolbox
$ make
$ sudo make install

Install our PyFeast module

$ python ./setup.py build
$ sudo python ./setup.py install


Demonstration
====
See test/test.py for an example with uniform data and an image
data set. The image data set was collected from the digits example in 
the Scikits-Learn toolbox.
