-# How the focused/unfocused score is computed
-
-The system outputs a **focus score** in `[0, 1]` and a binary **focused/unfocused** label. The label is derived from the score and a threshold. The exact equation depends on which pipeline (model) you use.
-
----
-
-## 1. Final output (all pipelines)
-
-- **`raw_score`** (or **`focus_score`** in Hybrid): value in `[0, 1]` after optional smoothing.
-- **`is_focused`**: binary label.
-
-**Equation:**
-
-```text
-is_focused = (smoothed_score >= threshold)
-```
-
-- **Smoothed score:** the pipeline may apply an exponential moving average (EMA) to the raw score; that smoothed value is what you see as `raw_score` / `focus_score` in the API.
-- **Threshold:** set in the UI (sensitivity) or in pipeline config; typical default **0.5** or **0.55**.
-
-So: **focus score** is the continuous value; **focused vs unfocused** is **score ≥ threshold** vs **score < threshold**.
-
----
-
-## 2. Geometric pipeline (rule-based, no ML)
-
-**Raw score (before smoothing):**
-
-```text
-raw = α · s_face + β · s_eye
-```
-
-- Default: **α = 0.4**, **β = 0.6** (face weight 40%, eye weight 60%).
-- If **yawning** (MAR > 0.55): **raw = 0**.
-
-**Face score `s_face`** (head pose, from `HeadPoseEstimator`):
-
-- **deviation** = √( yaw² + pitch² + (0.5·roll)² )
-- **t** = min( deviation / max_angle , 1 ), with **max_angle = 22°** (default).
-- **s_face** = 0.5 · (1 + cos(π · t))  
-  → 1 when head is straight, 0 when deviation ≥ max_angle.
-
-**Eye score `s_eye`** (from `EyeBehaviourScorer`):
-
-- **EAR** = Eye Aspect Ratio (from landmarks); use **min(left_ear, right_ear)**.
-- **ear_s** = linear map of EAR to [0,1] between `ear_closed=0.16` and `ear_open=0.30`.
-- **Gaze:** horizontal/vertical gaze ratios from iris position; **offset** = distance from center (0.5, 0.5).
-- **gaze_s** = 0.5 · (1 + cos(π · t)), with **t** = min( offset / gaze_max_offset , 1 ), **gaze_max_offset = 0.28**.
-- **s_eye** = ear_s · gaze_s (or just ear_s if ear_s < 0.3).
-
-Then:
-
-```text
-smoothed_score = EMA(raw)
-is_focused = (smoothed_score >= threshold)
-```
-
----
-
-## 3. MLP pipeline
-
-- Features are extracted (same 17-d feature vector as in training), clipped, then optionally extended (magnitudes, velocities, variances) and scaled with the **training-time scaler**.
-- The MLP outputs either:
-  - **Probability of class 1 (focused):** `mlp_prob = predict_proba(X_sc)[0, 1]`, or
-  - If no `predict_proba`: **mlp_prob = 1 if predict(X_sc) == 1 else 0**.
-
-**Equations:**
-
-```text
-raw_score = mlp_prob   (clipped to [0, 1])
-smoothed_score = EMA(raw_score)
-is_focused = (smoothed_score >= threshold)
-```
-
-So the **focus score** is the **MLP’s estimated probability of being focused** (after optional smoothing).
-
----
-
-## 4. XGBoost pipeline
-
-- Same feature extraction and clipping; uses the **same feature subset** as in XGBoost training (no runtime magnitude/velocity extension).
-- **prob** = `predict_proba(X)[0]` → **[P(unfocused), P(focused)]**.
-
-**Equations:**
-
-```text
-raw_score = prob[1]   (probability of focused class)
-smoothed_score = EMA(raw_score)
-is_focused = (smoothed_score >= threshold)
-```
-
-So the **focus score** is the **XGBoost probability of the focused class**.
-
----
-
-## 5. Hybrid pipeline (MLP + geometric)
-
-Combines the MLP’s probability with a geometric score, then applies a single threshold.
-
-**Geometric part:**
-
-```text
-geo_score = geo_face_weight · s_face + geo_eye_weight · s_eye
-```
-
-- Default: **geo_face_weight = 0.4**, **geo_eye_weight = 0.6**.
-- **s_face** and **s_eye** as in the Geometric pipeline (with optional yawn veto: if yawning, **geo_score = 0**).
-- **geo_score** is clipped to [0, 1].
-
-**MLP part:** same as MLP pipeline → **mlp_prob** in [0, 1].
-
-**Combined focus score (default weights):**
-
-```text
-focus_score = w_mlp · mlp_prob + w_geo · geo_score
-```
-
-- Default: **w_mlp = 0.7**, **w_geo = 0.3** (after normalising so weights sum to 1).
-- **focus_score** is clipped to [0, 1], then smoothed.
-
-**Equations:**
-
-```text
-focus_score = clip( w_mlp · mlp_prob + w_geo · geo_score , 0 , 1 )
-smoothed_score = EMA(focus_score)
-is_focused = (smoothed_score >= threshold)
-```
-
-Default **threshold** in hybrid config is **0.55**.
-
----
-
-## 6. Summary table
-
-| Pipeline   | Raw score formula                    | Focused condition           |
-|-----------|--------------------------------------|-----------------------------|
-| Geometric | α·s_face + β·s_eye (0 if yawn)       | smoothed ≥ threshold        |
-| MLP       | MLP P(focused)                       | smoothed ≥ threshold        |
-| XGBoost   | XGB P(focused)                       | smoothed ≥ threshold        |
-| Hybrid    | w_mlp·mlp_prob + w_geo·geo_score     | smoothed ≥ threshold        |
-
-**s_face** = head-pose score (cosine of normalised deviation).  
-**s_eye** = eye score (EAR × gaze score, or blend with CNN).  
-**geo_score** = geo_face_weight·s_face + geo_eye_weight·s_eye (with optional yawn veto).  
-**EMA** = exponential moving average (e.g. α=0.3) for temporal smoothing.
-
-So: **focus score** is always a number in [0, 1]; **focused vs unfocused** is **score ≥ threshold** in all pipelines.

+# Feature selection justification
+
+The face_orientation model uses 10 of 17 extracted features. This document summarises empirical support.
+
+## 1. Domain rationale
+
+The 10 features were chosen to cover three channels:
+- **Head pose:** head_deviation, s_face, pitch
+- **Eye state:** ear_left, ear_right, ear_avg, perclos
+- **Gaze:** h_gaze, gaze_offset, s_eye
+
+Excluded: v_gaze (noisy), mar (rare events), yaw/roll (redundant with head_deviation/s_face), blink_rate/closure_duration/yawn_duration (temporal overlap with perclos).
+
+## 2. XGBoost feature importance (gain)
+
+From the trained XGBoost checkpoint (gain on the 10 features):
+
+| Feature | Gain |
+|---------|------|
+| head_deviation | 8.83 |
+| s_face | 10.27 |
+| s_eye | 2.18 |
+| h_gaze | 4.99 |
+| pitch | 4.64 |
+| ear_left | 3.57 |
+| ear_avg | 6.96 |
+| ear_right | 9.54 |
+| gaze_offset | 1.80 |
+| perclos | 5.68 |
+
+**Top 5 by gain:** s_face, ear_right, head_deviation, ear_avg, perclos.
+
+## 3. Leave-one-feature-out ablation (LOPO)
+
+Baseline (all 10 features) mean LOPO F1: **0.8327**.
+
+| Feature dropped | Mean LOPO F1 | Δ vs baseline |
+|------------------|--------------|---------------|
+| head_deviation | 0.8395 | -0.0068 |
+| s_face | 0.8390 | -0.0063 |
+| s_eye | 0.8342 | -0.0015 |
+| h_gaze | 0.8244 | +0.0083 |
+| pitch | 0.8250 | +0.0077 |
+| ear_left | 0.8326 | +0.0001 |
+| ear_avg | 0.8350 | -0.0023 |
+| ear_right | 0.8344 | -0.0017 |
+| gaze_offset | 0.8351 | -0.0024 |
+| perclos | 0.8258 | +0.0069 |
+
+Dropping **h_gaze** hurts most (F1=0.8244), consistent with it being important.
+
+## 4. Conclusion
+
+Selection is supported by (1) domain rationale (three attention channels), (2) XGBoost gain importance, and (3) leave-one-out ablation. SHAP or correlation-based pruning can be added in future work.
