Sumario:<!--HTML-->The input variables of ML methods in physics analysis are often highly correlated and figuring out which ones are the most important ones for the classification turns out to be a non-trivial tasks. We compare the standard method of TMVA to rank variables with a several newly developed methods based on iterative removal for the use case of a search for top pair associated Higgs production (ttH) in the Higgs to b-pair decay channel.
