Question on TreeSHAP #341

Closed mayer79 closed 2 years ago

mayer79 commented 2 years ago

Hello Christoph. Thanks for all your contributions to XAI.

One question on the "standard" conditional TreeSHAP algorithm applied to a tree-based model that is additive in covariate X (e.g., by using interaction constraints in a boosted trees model, or a boosted tree stump).

Is it correct to interpret the resulting SHAP dependence plot of a covariate X as being "Ceteris Paribus"?
