Feature selection by combining PCA and ICA: performing principal component analysis first, followed by independent component analysis on the resulting features

Detailed Documentation

In the process of feature selection, we can employ a combined method using PCA (Principal Component Analysis) and ICA (Independent Component Analysis). First, we perform principal component analysis on the original data to obtain the most representative principal components. This involves using algorithms that calculate eigenvalues and eigenvectors to identify directions of maximum variance in the dataset. Then, we apply independent component analysis to the obtained principal components to further screen for features with higher correlation to the underlying data structure. This two-stage approach effectively improves the accuracy and reliability of feature selection by first reducing dimensionality while preserving essential information (PCA), then extracting statistically independent components (ICA) that often correspond to meaningful underlying factors. This methodology lays a solid foundation for subsequent data analysis and modeling tasks.
