Background:

  • Feature selection is crucial for improving model performance and interpretability.
  • Existing methods may lack efficiency or clear physical interpretation.
  • Unsupervised learning approaches are valuable for data-driven feature discovery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Introduce a new unsupervised algorithm for feature selection and ranking.
  • Develop a method that is both effective and computationally efficient.
  • Ensure selected features have a clear physical interpretation.

Main Methods:

  • A novel unsupervised Forward Orthogonal Search (FOS) algorithm is proposed.
  • Features are selected stepwise, evaluating subset representation capability.
