Visualizing the Effects of Predictor Variables in Black Box Supervised Learning Models
可视化黑箱监督学习模型中预测变量的效应
Summary In many supervised learning applications, understanding and visualizing the effects of the predictor variables on the predicted response is of paramount importance. A shortcoming of black box supervised learning models (e.g. complex trees, neural networks, boosted trees, random forests, nearest neighbours, local kernel-weighted methods and support vector regression) in this regard is their lack of interpretability or transparency. Partial dependence plots, which are…
