    • … The vector space associated with these vectors is often called the feature space. In order to reduce the dimensionality of the feature space, a number of dimensionality reduction techniques can be employed.

      Higher-level features can be obtained from already available features and added to the feature vector, for example for the study of diseases the feature 'Age' is useful and is defined as Age = 'Year of death' - 'Year of birth' . This process is referred to as feature construction.[1] [2] Feature construction is the application of a set of constructive operators to a set of existing features resulting in construction of new features. Examples of such constructive operators include checking for the equality conditions {=, ≠}, the arithmetic operators {+,−,×, /}, the array operators {max(S), min(S), average(S)} as well as other more sophisticated operators, for example count(S,C)[3] that counts the number of features in the feature vector S satisfying some condition C or, for example, distances to other recognition classes generalized by some accepting device. Feature construction has long been considered a powerful tool for increasing both accuracy and understanding of structure, particularly in high-dimensional problems.[4] Applications include studies of disease and emotion recognition from speech.[5]
