Novel Trifecta Approach To Feature Selection In MMM

Novel Trifecta Approach to Feature Selection in MMM
Feature selection plays an important role in Marketing Mix Modeling (MMM). Incorporating features in the model that best predicts or explains the dependent variable is essential for a good model.
Traditionally in MMM, the feature selection process has been based on correlation and domain knowledge. In this approach, the variables are shortlisted first based on the correlation with the KPI. Then a domain expert weighs in on the variables provided and selects the variables based on a certain correlation threshold + domain knowledge.
Using the traditional approach has its pitfalls; Correlation only measures the linear relationship between the feature and the KPI. So, you can miss out on important variables that are non-linearly related and provide significant information about the KPI.
