Best set of derived features after applying filter methods and recursive feature elimination.

Feature Name Description Equation
Skewness It measures the asymmetry of the distribution of values about the Mean value. Skew = μ3σ3=1Npi=1Np(X(i)X¯)3(1Npi=1Np(X(i)X¯)2)3
Entropy It measures the uncertainty or randomness in the image values. Entropy = i=1Ngp(i)log2(p(i)+ )
Total Energy It is the measure of the magnitude of voxel values in an image. Total Energy = Vvoxeli=1Np(X(i)+c)2
Interquartile Range It measures the percentile of image data present between 25th percent to 75th percent. IQR = P75P25
Mesh Volume [38] It measures the Volume of ROI. Vi=Oai·(Obi× Oci)6V= i=1NfVi
Surface Area It measures the extrinsic surface are of the ROI Ai= 12 |aibi × aici|A= i=1NfAi
Major Axis Length It measures the largest axis length of the ROI enclosing ellipsoid using the largest principal component. Major axis = 4λmajor
Minor Axis Length It measures the second- largest axis length of the ROI enclosing ellipsoid using the largest principal component. Minor axis = 4λminor
Autocorrelation It measures the magnitude of the fineness and coarseness of texture. Auto_corr = i=1Ngj=1Ngp(i, j)i
Cluster Prominence It measures the skewness and asymmetry of the Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix. CP = i=1Ngj=1Ng(i+jμxμy)4p(i,j)
Difference Entropy It is a measure of the randomness/variability in neighborhood intensity value differences. DE = k=0Ng1pxy(k)log2(pxy(k)+)
Inverse Difference Moment IDM measures the local homogeneity of an image. IDM = k=0Ng1pxy(k)1+k2
Small Area High Gray Level Emphasis (SAHGLE) It measures the proportion in the image of the joint distribution of smaller size zones with higher gray level values SAHGLE = i=1Ngj=1NsP(i, j)i2j2Nz
Gray Level Non-Uniformity [16] It measures the similarity of gray level intensity values in the images, where a lower GLN value correlates with a greater similarity in intensity values GLN = i=1Ng(j=1NrP(i,j|θ))2Nr(θ)
Gray Level Variance It measures the variance in gray level intensity for the runs GLV = i=1Ngj=1Nrp(i,j|θ)(iμ)2
Run Entropy It measures the randomness in the distribution of run length and gray levels. RE = i=1Ngj=1Nrp(i,j|θ)log2(p(i,j|θ)+)
Long Run High Gray Level Emphasis (LRHGLE) It measures the joint distribution of long-run lengths with higher gray-level values. LRHGLRE = i=1Ngj=1NrP(i,j|θ)i2j2Nr(θ)
Coarseness It measures the average difference between the center voxel and its neighborhood and is an indication of the spatial rate of change Coarseness = 1i=1Ngpisi
Small Dependence Emphasis It measures the small dependencies, with a greater value indicative of smaller dependence and less homogeneous textures. SDE = i=1Ngj=1NdP(i, j)i2Nz
Dependence Non-Uniformity It measures the similarity of dependence throughout the image, with a lower value indicating more homogeneity among dependencies in the image. DN = j=1Nd(i=1NgP(i,j))2Nz
