The invention discloses steps to compute a new contextual merit measure for feature variables based on a two-fold discovery. First, a feature variable does not exist by itself in distinguishing classes, and second, what is desired is to obtain its correlation to a class in the context of other feature variables. The invention specifies a merit measure that captures the contextual correlation implicitly.
