Feature Selection in Materials Design A first step that needs to be taken when deriving a model is to assess which properties of a physical system are coupled and how they influence each other. The workflow of natural scientists is thus usually to make observations, look for correlations in these observations, setup hypotheses to explain the correlations and apply Occam’s razor. The result is a model that can be used to predict new, testable observations to validate or invalidate the hypothesis. Statistics and big data technologies allow to formalize the search for correlations and model building if enough data is available. |
