Overview

About

Maintained by Giuseppe CasalicchioFirst published 2018-03-1317 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Interpretability methods to analyze the behavior and predictions of any machine learning model. Implemented methods are: Feature importance described by Fisher et al. (2018) doi:10.48550/arxiv.1801.01489, accumulated local effects plots described by Apley (2018) doi:10.48550/arxiv.1612.08468, partial dependence plots described by Friedman (2001) <www.jstor.org/stable/2699986>, individual conditional expectation ('ice') plots described by Goldstein et al. (2013) doi:10.1080/10618600.2014.907095, local models (variant of 'lime') described by Ribeiro et. al (2016) doi:10.48550/arXiv.1602.04938, the Shapley Value described by Strumbelj et. al (2014) doi:10.1007/s10115-013-0679-x, feature interactions described by Friedman et. al doi:10.1214/07-AOAS148 and tree surrogate models.

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("iml", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

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

Development version from giuseppec/iml. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-iml

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-iml

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 \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-iml

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
