Filter: Select the pvalues below alpha based on a FPR test.
FPR test stands for False Positive Rate test. It controls the total amount of false detections.

Parameters ---------- score_func : callable Function taking two arrays X and y, and returning a pair of arrays (scores, pvalues). Default is f_classif (see below 'See also'). The default function only works with classification tasks.
alpha : float, optional The highest p-value for features to be kept.
Attributes ---------- scores_ : array-like of shape (n_features,) Scores of features.
pvalues_ : array-like of shape (n_features,) p-values of feature scores.
Examples -------- >>> from sklearn.datasets import load_breast_cancer >>> from sklearn.feature_selection import SelectFpr, chi2 >>> X, y = load_breast_cancer(return_X_y=True) >>> X.shape (569, 30) >>> X_new = SelectFpr(chi2, alpha=0.01).fit_transform(X, y) >>> X_new.shape (569, 16)
