Principal components analysis (PCA) is a popular linear feature extractor, and widely used in signal processing, face recognition, etc. However, axes of the lower-dimensional space, i.e., principal components, are a set of new variables carrying no clear physical meanings. Thus we propose unsupervised feature selection algorithms based on eigenvectors analysis to identify critical original features for principal component. The presented algorithms are based on k-nearest neighbor rule to find the predominant row components and eight new measures are proposed to compute the correlation between row components in transformation matrix. Experiments are conducted on benchmark data sets and facial image data sets for gender classification to show their superiorities.

Feature selection is a key step in hydraulic system fault diagnosis. Some of the collected features are unrelated to classification model, and some are high correlated to other features. These features are harmful for establishing classification model. In order to solve this problem, genetic algorithm-partial least squares (GA-PLS) is proposed for selecting the representative and optimal features. K nearest neighbor algorithm (KNN) is used for diagnosing and classifying hydraulic system faults. For expressing better performance of GA-PLS, the original data of a model engineering hydraulic system is used, and the results of GA-PLS are compared with all feature used and GA. The experimental results show that, the proposed feature method can diagnose and classify hydraulic system faults more efficiently with using fewer features.
