About

Maintained by Szymon MaksymiukFirst published 2019-05-314 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Structure mining from 'XGBoost' and 'LightGBM' models. Key functionalities of this package cover: visualisation of tree-based ensembles models, identification of interactions, measuring of variable importance, measuring of interaction importance, explanation of single prediction with break down plots (based on 'xgboostExplainer' and 'iBreakDown' packages). To download the 'LightGBM' use the following link: https://github.com/Microsoft/LightGBM. 'EIX' is a part of the 'DrWhy.AI' universe.

grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \

sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-EIX

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
