FAQPage Schema
How do I explain machine learning model predictions using Shapley values?

Shapley values explain machine learning model predictions by quantifying each feature's contribution to individual predictions using cooperative game theory. This framework supports model-agnostic and model-specific workflows to generate both global and local explanations.

Can I compute feature importance for tree-based models and deep learning frameworks?

Yes, you can compute feature importance for tree-based models, deep learning frameworks, linear models, and black-box models. The framework requires integration with scikit-learn, xgboost, or deep learning frameworks to calculate Shapley values for these model types.

What's the best way to visualize feature contributions for model interpretability?

The best way to visualize feature contributions for model interpretability is by generating waterfall, beeswarm, bar, scatter, and force plots. These visualizations help illustrate how individual features impact model predictions across local and global contexts.

How does model interpretability help with debugging and fairness analysis?

Model interpretability helps with debugging and fairness analysis by identifying data leakage, analyzing model bias, and validating feature relationships. Explaining predictions ensures model reliability and fairness by revealing how features drive outcomes.

Do I need scikit-learn and pandas to generate SHAP explanations?

Yes, you need scikit-learn and pandas along with numpy, scipy, and matplotlib to generate SHAP explanations. These dependencies support the data manipulation, model integration, and visualization suite required to compute and plot Shapley values.
