Review of Dominance Analysis: An Approach for Determining the Relative Importance of Predictors
Abstract: A lot of methods had been developed to explain the unclear concept of relative importance for independent variables. One of the most important methods for determining the relative importance of predictors is dominance analysis, which is a technique that determines variable importance, based on comparisons of unique variance contributions of all pairs of variables involving all possible subsets of predictors. The aim of this paper is to take a closer …
