  • Because the majority of model-free feature screening methods concentrate on individual predictors, they are unable to consider structured predictors, such as grouped variables. In this study, we suggest a model-free and direct extension of the original sure independence screening approach for group screening using Gini impurity for a classification model. Compared to current feature screening approaches, the proposed method performs better in terms of screening efficiency and classification accuracy. It was established that the suggested group screening process exhibits sure screening properties and ranking consistency properties under specific regularity conditions. We used simulation studies to illustrate the limited sample performance of the proposed technique and real data analysis.
