describe.partial_dependence_explainer {ingredients}

Natural language description of feature importance explainer

Description

Generic function describe generates a natural language description of ceteris_paribus(), aggregated_profiles() and feature_importance() explanations what enchaces their interpretability.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'partial_dependence_explainer'
describe(
  x,
  nonsignificance_treshold = 0.15,
  ...,
  display_values = FALSE,
  display_numbers = FALSE,
  variables = NULL,
  label = "prediction"
)

describe(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'ceteris_paribus_explainer'
describe(
  x,
  nonsignificance_treshold = 0.15,
  ...,
  display_values = FALSE,
  display_numbers = FALSE,
  variables = NULL,
  label = "prediction"
)

## S3 method for class 'feature_importance_explainer'
describe(x, nonsignificance_treshold = 0.15, ...)

Arguments

x

a ceteris paribus explanation produced with function ceteris_paribus()

nonsignificance_treshold

a parameter specifying a treshold for variable importance

...

other arguments

display_values

allows for displaying variable values

display_numbers

allows for displaying numerical values

variables

a character of a single variable name to be described

label

label for model's prediction

Details

Function describe.ceteris_paribus() generates a natural language description of ceteris paribus profile. The description summarizes variable values, that would change model's prediction at most. If a ceteris paribus profile for multiple variables is passed, variables must specify a single variable to be described. Works only for a ceteris paribus profile for one observation. In current version only categorical values are discribed. For display_numbers = TRUE three most important variable values are displayed, while display_numbers = FALSE displays all the important variables, however without further details.

Function describe.feature_importance_explainer() generates a natural language description of feature importance explanation. It prints the number of important variables, that have significant dropout difference from the full model, depending on nonsignificance_treshold. The description prints the three most important variables for the model's prediction. The current design of DALEX explainer does not allow for displaying variables values.
