Description

Is there a way to determine the importance of each features in multivariate time series for the decision of the clustering? For example, feature x has the most influence in cluster y.

My time series is modeled as (n_ts, ts_length, n_dim) with n_dim as the number of features.

Research direction

The issue provides no file, test, or entry point to start from. Review tslearn's existing multivariate time-series clustering functionality and determine how feature influence would be defined for a cluster. Done should include an agreed method for identifying feature importance and corresponding documentation or tests.
