Claim 3:
4. A method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising the steps of:
determining a relevance score for a second input of the first set of inputs, wherein the second input is a candidate input, based on:
a second effectiveness value of the second input, wherein the second effectiveness value represents how influential the second input is on the output of the algorithm, and
a second computational cost of the second input, wherein the second computational cost represents the computational resources of using the second input in the algorithm;

comparing the relevance score for the second input to the threshold,
wherein the step of defining the second set of inputs is further based on the comparison of the relevance score for the second input to the threshold such that if the relevance score of the first input does not satisfy the threshold and the relevance score of the second input does satisfy the threshold then the second set of inputs is based on the first set of inputs with the first input removed and further includes accepting the second input.
