Standardize metafeature names #32

Open bjschoenfeld opened 6 years ago

bjschoenfeld commented 6 years ago

I am not sure how our metafeature names were chosen. Perhaps they are based on the R script from which this project stemmed. Perhaps we should consider the literature and the usage by OpenML and D3M to determine how to name metafeatures.

Also, I have a preference to name them so that modifiers like "Max...", "Min...", etc. are placed at the end of the name so that metafeatures are gouped alphabetically by the metafeature itself and not whether it is a max or a min.

31 would affect how we name some of these metafeatures as well.

The R script author had a lot to do with the naming as well as the references he used so renaming them to better suite our needs or just to create a standard would be good.

To standardize names, we need a naming scheme. It might help to start with a taxonomy of all the known metafeatures to know how we will want to name them.
