class RFE(BaseEstimator, MetaEstimatorMixin, SelectorMixin):
    """Feature ranking with recursive feature elimination.

    Given an external estimator that assigns weights to features (e.g., the
    coefficients of a linear model), the goal of recursive feature elimination
    (RFE) is to select features by recursively considering smaller and smaller
    sets of features. First, the estimator is trained on the initial set of
    features and weights are assigned to each one of them. Then, features whose
    absolute weights are the smallest are pruned from the current set features.
    That procedure is recursively repeated on the pruned set until the desired
    number of features to select is eventually reached.

    Parameters
    ----------
    estimator : object
        A supervised learning estimator with a `fit` method that updates a
        `coef_` attribute that holds the fitted parameters. Important features
        must correspond to high absolute values in the `coef_` array.

        For instance, this is the case for most supervised learning
        algorithms such as Support Vector Classifiers and Generalized
        Linear Models from the `svm` and `linear_model` modules.

    n_features_to_select : int or None (default=None)
        The number of features to select. If `None`, half of the features
        are selected.

    step : int or float, optional (default=1)
        If greater than or equal to 1, then `step` corresponds to the (integer)
        number of features to remove at each iteration.
        If within (0.0, 1.0), then `step` corresponds to the percentage
        (rounded down) of features to remove at each iteration.

    estimator_params : dict
        Parameters for the external estimator.
        Useful for doing grid searches when an `RFE` object is passed as an
        argument to, e.g., a `sklearn.grid_search.GridSearchCV` object.

    Attributes
    ----------
    `n_features_` : int
        The number of selected features.

    `support_` : array of shape [n_features]
        The mask of selected features.

    `ranking_` : array of shape [n_features]
        The feature ranking, such that `ranking_[i]` corresponds to the \
        ranking position of the i-th feature. Selected (i.e., estimated \
        best) features are assigned rank 1.

    `estimator_` : object
        The external estimator fit on the reduced dataset.

    Examples
    --------
    The following example shows how to retrieve the 5 right informative
    features in the Friedman #1 dataset.

    >>> from sklearn.datasets import make_friedman1
    >>> from sklearn.feature_selection import RFE
    >>> from sklearn.svm import SVR
    >>> X, y = make_friedman1(n_samples=50, n_features=10, random_state=0)
    >>> estimator = SVR(kernel="linear")
    >>> selector = RFE(estimator, 5, step=1)
    >>> selector = selector.fit(X, y)
    >>> selector.support_ # doctest: +NORMALIZE_WHITESPACE
    array([ True,  True,  True,  True,  True,
            False, False, False, False, False], dtype=bool)
    >>> selector.ranking_
    array([1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 6, 4, 3, 2, 5])
