SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires shap, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides comprehensive model interpretability and explainability using SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations), enabling users to understand machine learning model predictions, compute feature importance, and generate various SHAP plots.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Feature Importance: Compute SHAP values for any model type to understand the impact of features on model predictions.
  • SHAP Plots: Generate SHAP plots like waterfall, beeswarm, bar, scatter, force, and heatmap to visualize model behavior.
  • Model Debugging: Use SHAP to debug and validate model behavior, analyze model bias or fairness, and compare models.
  • Use Case: If you are working with tree-based models (XGBoost, LightGBM, Random Forest) or deep learning models (TensorFlow, PyTorch), this Skill helps you to interpret and explain model predictions.

Quick Start

Use the shap skill to explain the predictions of a trained XGBoost model on a test dataset.
