FAQPage Schema
How do I explain feature importance in machine learning model predictions?

Explain machine learning model predictions by calculating SHAP values to quantify feature contributions. This Skill computes SHapley Additive exPlanations to identify which features most influence specific outcomes and overall model behavior.

Can I use SHAP values to explain both XGBoost and deep learning models?

Yes, SHAP values can explain both XGBoost and deep learning models. This Skill supports model interpretability across tree-based models using LightGBM and XGBoost, as well as deep learning frameworks like TensorFlow and PyTorch.

What visualizations help understand why a specific prediction was made?

Visualizations like waterfall, beeswarm, and scatter plots help understand why a specific prediction was made. This Skill generates these diverse plots to provide both local explanations for individual predictions and global explanations for model behavior.

How do I detect bias and fairness issues in a credit risk model?

Detect bias and fairness issues in a credit risk model by analyzing SHAP values to debug unexpected model behavior. This Skill highlights key factors leading to decisions, allowing you to identify feature contributions that may indicate bias.

Does model interpretability work with linear models and scikit-learn?

Yes, model interpretability works with linear models and scikit-learn. This Skill supports calculating SHAP values for various model types, including linear models, tree-based algorithms, and deep learning networks.

What is the best way to generate a beeswarm plot for SHAP values?

The best way to generate a beeswarm plot for SHAP values is to use this Skill's built-in scripts. It processes your test dataset to produce visualizations that map feature importance and model interpretability across all predictions.
