Overview

About

Maintained by Brandon GreenwellCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗

Computes fast (relative to other implementations) approximate Shapley values for any supervised learning model. Shapley values help to explain the predictions from any black box model using ideas from game theory; see Strumbel and Kononenko (2014) doi:10.1007/s10115-013-0679-x for details.

Changes in 0.1.1

Changed

From NEWS.md in the release

Install

R (source archive)pak (dev)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/fastshap/fastshap_0.1.1.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "fastshap_0.1.1.tar.gz"
download.file(url, pkgFile)
install.packages(pkgFile, type = "source", repos = NULL)

This package is no longer on CRAN, so install.packages() cannot fetch it by name. This downloads the last archived source (0.1.1) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("bgreenwell/fastshap")

Development version from bgreenwell/fastshap. Installs pak first if it is not already available.
