Feature importance analysis of solar flares and prediction research with ensemble machine learning models by Yun Yang, Yun Yang

“…These are relatively high scores for model performance evaluation metrics. (2) The importance scores of each feature under different evaluation metrics and the comprehensive importance ranking can be directly obtained through the model without the need for additional feature analysis tools. Using this ranking to reduce the dimensionality of the data set for the three main models, similar or better classification results can be achieved using only about half of the original features. (3) Our results demonstrate the mean photospheric magnetic free energy (MEANPOT), the time decay value based on the magnitudes of all previous flares (Edec), and the total unsigned current helicity (TOTUSJH). …”
