This study introduces a robust supervised variable selection method using Self-Organizing Maps (SOMs). The approach effectively identifies relevant variables, simplifying complex data analysis for researchers.

Area of Science:

  • Data Science
  • Machine Learning
  • Artificial Intelligence

Background:

  • Data analysis frequently involves datasets with numerous irrelevant variables, complicating the identification of key predictors.
  • Supervised variable selection aims to identify the most informative variables based on predefined criteria, crucial for model interpretability and performance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a robust and accessible method for supervised variable selection.
  • To leverage Self-Organizing Maps (SOMs) for defining a criterion for variable relevance.
  • To develop a technique that aligns variable selection with user-defined problem understanding.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing a Self-Organizing Map (SOM) trained on user-selected target variables to establish a selection criterion.

  • Implementing a method to identify and return a subset of variables that best match the SOM's representation of the problem.

    • Main Results:

    • The proposed method successfully identifies a subset of relevant variables from a larger dataset.
    • Experimental results demonstrate the method's effectiveness and conceptual simplicity.
    • The approach provides an accessible way for users to perform supervised variable selection.

    Conclusions:

    • The SOM-based approach offers a robust solution for supervised variable selection.
