Roadmap to Version 1.0

[mayer79]

During the next months, "flashlight" will be revised with the following changes in mind:

• [x] Modern code formatting #54
• [x] :: instead of importFrom #54
• [x] Replace ggplot2::aes_string() by rlang::.Data #54
• [x] Use linewidth aesthetic in geom_line() instead of size #54
• [x] Git actions
• [x] Shorter (and less) vignettes #54
• [x] Reduce package dependencies, e.g. {caret}, {xgboost}, {ranger}, {moderndive}, {mlr3}, {mlr3learners} #54
• [x] Flip x and y coordinates, and remove coord_flip() in plot.light_breakdown() and plot.light_importance() #57
• [x] Deprecate add_shap() in favour of {kernelshap} and {shapviz}. This will greatly simplify the code. The current implementation is too slow to be useful. #56
• [x] Deprecate plot_counts(). Might be replaced by {ggside} later, see below. Plus heavy dependency with {cowplot} #57
• [x] Deprecate stats = "quartiles" argument in profile functions. Too much code for too little gain. #57
• [x] Remove the unnecessarly complex configuration of special columns like "label", "metric" etc. #57
• [x] Hide internal functions #56 #57 #58
• [x] Better examples #58
• [x] Replace light_recode() by plot.light_effects(..., recode_labels = ....) #60
• [ ] Consider using nice default colors in the plots (e.g., via options()).
• [ ] Better interface to initialize and update flashlights and multiflashlights
• [ ] Consider using explicit argument lists in light_*.multiflashlight() functions in order to see type hints of RStudio
• [ ] Better unit tests

Backlog

• [ ] Consider using the "collapse" package for grouped (weighted) averages, counts, medians.
