Table 7 Features selected by PCE. For each post-impact property, the PCE algorithm selects a subset of features to use in the model. For most post-impact parameters, the algorithm selects pre-impact parameters related to the impact geometry (γ, \(b_{\infty }\), \(v_{\infty }\)). Where other pre-impact properties have been selected, they tend to have a physically intuitive relationship to the post-impact property. Note that PCE did not select the pre-impact azimuthal orientations, \(\phi _{\mathrm{targ}}\) and \(\phi _{\mathrm{proj}}\), indicating that these properties generally do not play a role in determining collision outcomes
