Hello everyone,

I am looking at the tutorial http://www.clips.ua.ac.be/pages/pattern-vector#classification and I dont see any function that returns the list of (say top 100) features that can help predict a given class.

Is that possible with pattern? I may have a classifier that performs well (good) but I would also like to understand what are the key features to predict a given class.

Many thanks for your help!!

in other words, is there the equivalent of show_informative_features?
