Package: shapwaterfall
InstallUsing pip (recommended)pip install shapwaterfall==0.3.1IntroductionMany times when VMware Data Science Teams present their Machine Learning Classification models' propensity to buy scores (estimated probabilities) to stakeholders, stakeholders ask why a customer's propensity to buy is higher than the other customer. The stakeholder's question was our primary motivation.We were further concerned with recent algorithm transparency language in the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). Although the 'right to explanation' is not necessarily clear, our desire is to act in good faith by providing local explainability and interpretability between two references, observations, clients, and customers.This graph solution provides a local classification model interpretability between two observations, which internally we call customers. It uses each customer's estimated probability and fills the gap between the two probabilities with SHAP values that are ordered from higher to lower importance.Update: This package works for all classification models. We added the Kernel Explainer. When using SVC ensure thatprobability=True.The package requires a classifier, training data, validation/test/scoring data, the two observations of interest (row index), and the desired number of important features. The package produces a Waterfall Chart.Commandshapwaterfall(clf, X_tng, X_val, index1, index2, num_features)Requiredclf: a classifier that is fitted to X_tng, training data.X_tng: the training data frame used to fit the model.X_val: the validation, test, or scoring data frame under observation.index1 and index2: the first and second row index numbers.num_features: the number of important features one wishes to display. They describe the local interpretability between to the two observations.Dependent PackagesThe shapwaterfall package requires the following python packages:import pandas as pd
