Existing feature selection methods fail to properly account for interactions between features when evaluating feature subsets. In this paper, we attempt to remedy this issue by using orthogonal variance decomposition to evaluate features. The orthogonality of the decomposition allows us to directly calculate the total contribution of a feature to the output variance. Thus we obtain an efficient algorithm for feature evaluation which takes into account interactions among features. Numerical experiments demonstrate that our method accurately identifies relevant features and improves the accuracy of numerical models.
