Feature request ALE plots #49

Open EtienneT opened 5 years ago

EtienneT commented 5 years ago

Accumulated local effects describe how features influence the prediction of a machine learning model on average. ALE plots are a faster and unbiased alternative to partial dependence plots (PDPs).

There's R modules supporting them but no Python module.

Hello, I will release a small package for first-order and second-order ALE plots in a few day, as I have the same needs on this method.

EtienneT commented 5 years ago

Excellent, update this feature request when you do!

MaximeJumelle commented 5 years ago

Hello, I started a public repository of ALEPython, which I work on to explain models predictions with ALE plots. Beware, as project is still on dev branch, you might encounter some bugs or issues. I pushed a first release since it is sufficient for my needs at the moment, but I will continue to bring new updates on this package.

So maybe it could be useful for you, but for now, there are no guarantees and potentially mistakes.
