I am wondering whether SVM based recursive feature elimination (Guyon et al., 2000) would be considered a filter or a wrapper method.
On the one hand, it "wraps" around an SVM to get the lowest-weight features.
On the other hand, the trained model is never applied to any test set.
What do you think?

SVM-RFE is a wrapper because it features training a classifier.
Filters use some other criteria (mostly dependence tests) and the only classifier trained is the final one, built on the selected features.
