FeatureImpactPlot
FeatureImpactPlot[model,data]
plots the impact of the value of each feature in data on the result of model.
FeatureImpactPlot[model]
estimates the feature impacts using synthetic data.
FeatureImpactPlot[modelfname,…]
plots only the impact of the specified feature fname.
FeatureImpactPlot[modelfnameclass,…]
plots only the impact on the classification class.
Details and Options
- FeatureImpactPlot is used to interpret the contribution of examples' feature values to the results of a machine learning model such as a regression or a classification.
- Feature impacts are typically used to give insights into the decision process of an otherwise "black-box" machine learning algorithm, understand the model's inner workings, prevent unwanted biases, etc.
- For every example, the distribution of the impact
of 
is plotted. The impact on the result 
of model is the deviation from the mean 
according to 
: - Possible values for model are:
-
ClassifierFunction[…] a classification model PredictorFunction[…] a regression model FittedModel[…] a symbolic fitted model - The result of a predictor is a scalar value and si is the deviation from the average prediction
. - The result of a classifier is typically a vector of log-odds that are returned as probabilities for each class.
- The impact si is the deviation from the log-odds prior logodds0 for a given class.
- Possible values for data are:
-
example a single example {example1,…} a List, Association or Dataset of examples LearnDistribution[…] a distribution from which to generate synthetic examples Automatic uses the model's missing imputer to generate examples - If no data is provided, synthetic examples will be generated using the model's missing imputer.
- Possible values for fname are:
-
All impact of all the features (default) feature impact of feature only {feature1,…} impact of a list of featurei - When model is a ClassifierFunction[…], possible values for class are:
-
All impact on all the classes (default) name impact on class name only {name1,…} impact on a list of namei - FeatureImpactPlot has the same options as Graphics, with the following additions and changes: [List of all options]
