local_permutation_importance {live}

Local permutation variable importance

Description

This function calculates local variable importance (variable drop-out) by finding top_n observations closest to the explained instance, performing permutation variable importance and using weighted mean square error as loss function with weights equal to 1 - Gower distances of the closest observations to the explainedi instance.

Usage

local_permutation_importance(
  explained_instance,
  data,
  explained_var,
  model,
  top_n = nrow(data)
)

Arguments

explained_instance

Data frame with one observation for which prediction will be explained

data

Data from with the same columns as explained_instance

explained_var

Character with the names of response variable

model

Model to be explained

top_n

Number of observation that will be used to calculate local variable importance

Value

list of class "local_permutation_importance" that consists of

residuals

Data frame with names of variables in the dataset ("label") and values of drop-out loss ("dropout_loss")

weighted_local_mse

Value of weighted MSE for the whole dataset with weights given by 1 - Gower distance from the explained instance

explained_instance

Explained instance as a data frame
