local_approximation: Fit local model around the observation: shortcut for DALEX explainer objects

Description

Fit local model around the observation: shortcut for DALEX explainer objects

Usage

local_approximation(
  explainer,
  observation,
  target_variable_name,
  n_new_obs,
  local_model = "regr.lm",
  select_variables = F,
  predict_type = "response",
  kernel_type = gaussian_kernel,
  ...
)

Arguments

explainer

a model to be explained, preprocessed by the DALEX::explain function

observation

a new observation for which predictions need to be explained

target_variable_name

name of the response variablea as a character

n_new_obs

Number of observation in the simulated dataset

local_model

Character specyfing mlr learner to be used as a local model

select_variables

If TRUE, variable selection will be performed while fitting the local linear model

predict_type

Argument passed to mlr::makeLearner() argument "predict.type" while fitting the local model. Defaults to "response"

kernel_type

Function which will be used to calculate distances from simulated observation to explained instance

...

Arguments to be passed to sample_locally function

Value

object of class live_explainer. More details in fit_explanation function help.
