Hi Aneesha,

Very nice and easy to follow blog :) I have quick question though. At this point I am a bit confused with all the terminology used in variable selection (also I feel like that sometimes the terminology that is used is not universal and sometimes different ).

So, here is my question: what is the different between the recursive feature elimination that you are describing here and backward selection? The way you discribe the algorithm, sounds similar to backward selection to me.
