How do I use params in sequential feature selection, I have tried Sequential_Feature_Selection(patterns,targets,['Backward',2,'LS',[]]) it gives errors  in line 16 which is the line about process_params.
 
Does the target only use 0 and 1? How then do i represent my 15 indeces, because i would have liked to represent them in strings.
 
Iv only just started using both matlab and patterns so i wud also like to know,how do I pass my data to  the Sequential _Feature_ Selection function from another M_file or from the command window
 

I have tried the solution you suggested, when i enter  this statement Sequential_Feature_Selection(patterns,targets,'["Backward",2,"LS",[]]') there is a message saying parse error at string invalid matlab expression before i even compile
 
When i do compile it gives >> Sequential_Feature_Selection(patterns,targets,'["Backward",2,"LS",[]]')
??? Undefined function or method 'process_params' for input arguments of type
'char'.
 
Error in ==> Sequential_Feature_Selection at 15
[type, final_Ndims, Type, Params] = process_params(params);
 
I am using matlab R2009b

Thank you very much, it works. but it works on the clouds.mat data, please tell me how do i organise my own data in the same format as clouds.mat
 
I have 15 columns of features and 72 observations.
 
How is the data on clouds.mat organised,are the 5000 columns features or observations

is it possible for me to use the sequential feature selection algorithm and not specify the dimension, because i would like the feature selection algorithm to select the optimum features without me specifing the demension number. I would like it to tell me the optimum feature
 
How do i use the feature selection algorithm with a classifier, I would like to use sequential feature selection with kmeans or with Genetic algorithm
