SHAP-Selection: Selecting feature using SHAP values

Due to the increasing concerns about machine learning interpretability, we believe that interpretation could be added to pre-processing steps. Using this library, you will be able to select the most important features from a multidimensional dataset while explaining your decisions!

To use SHAP-Selection, you will need:

Instalation

pip install shap-selection

Usage

To use SHAP-Selection, you must have a trained model. It works both for classification and regression purposes!

Load a dataset

iris_data = load_iris()

X, y = iris_data.data, iris_data.target
feature_names = np.array(iris_data.feature_names)

X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, test_size=0.2, random_state=0)

Fit a model

model = cb.CatBoostClassifier(verbose=False)
model.fit(X_train, y_train)

Use SHAP-Selection

from shap_selection import feature_selection

# please, use agnostic = True to use with any model...
# agnostic = False will only work with tree-based models
feature_order = feature_selection.shap_select(model, X_train, X_test, feature_names, agnostic=False)
