could you please provide samples on how to use it?

thanks in advance.

I just merged in some changes to the README for example usage and also some explanation on the optional parameters to the function. You can also find a complete example in the bottom of the variable_importances.py file

If something doesn't make sense or you have a particular example you would like, let me know and I'll see if I can add it

@githubbla I recently made a breaking update to the code. The permutation_selection_importance function now returns an object which has bundled the ranks and importances in a more natural way. Please see the README and permutation_importance/importance_result.py for the object definition. If you should for any reason need the old return value, you can simply use result.complete_result, which I have left for legacy purposes. However, I will note that the new get_variable_importances_and_scores and get_variable_ranks_and_scores will probably be more useful. Cheers!
