calculate_variable_splits: Calculate Split Points for Selected Variables

Description

This function calculate candidate splits for each selected variable. For numerical variables splits are calculated as percentiles (in general uniform quantiles of the length grid_points). For all other variables splits are calculated as unique values.

Usage

calculate_variable_splits(data, variables = colnames(data), grid_points = 101)

Value

A named list with splits for selected variables

Arguments

data

validation dataset. Is used to determine distribution of observations.

variables

names of variables for which splits shall be calculated

grid_points

number of points used for response path

Details

Note that calculate_variable_splits function is S3 generic. If you want to work on non standard data sources (like H2O ddf, external databases) you should overload it.

Examples

library("DALEX")
 if (FALSE) {
library("randomForest")
set.seed(59)
apartments_rf_model <- randomForest(m2.price ~ construction.year + surface + floor +
                                      no.rooms + district, data = apartments)
vars <- c("construction.year", "surface", "floor", "no.rooms", "district")
calculate_variable_splits(apartments, vars)
}
