*3.3. Variance Threshold Results*

The dataset energy consumption variables were dismissed against the variance threshold value as it gradually increased. The method for eliminating the variables with lower variance was described in Section 2.5. Figure 5 indicates the color associated with each variable in the variance threshold selection.

Table 4 displays the feature variance, the threshold value, and a bar plot showing the eliminated variable. Each threshold value was increased by 0.01 steps until a feature was eliminated from the energy consumption dataset.
