Claim One:
1. A computer-readable medium having stored thereon computer-readable instructions that when executed by a computing device cause the computing device to: calculate an eigen decomposition of a covariance matrix to form a decomposed matrix and an eigenvalue vector, wherein the covariance matrix is calculated for a matrix of data including a plurality of data values for each of a plurality of parameters, wherein the decomposed matrix includes a number of eigenvectors equal to a number of the plurality of parameters with each eigenvector of the eigenvectors including a coefficient for each parameter of the plurality of parameters, wherein the eigenvalue vector includes an eigenvalue defined for each eigenvector of the eigenvectors; create a first matrix by rank ordering the coefficient within each parameter of the plurality of parameters for each of the plurality of parameters; determine a score for each parameter of the plurality of parameters using the created first matrix and the eigenvalue vector; and identify a parameter set including a predefined number of parameters of the plurality of parameters based on the determined score for each parameter of the plurality of parameters.
