Partial-dependence (PD) profiles

Pros

  • The mean of ceteris-paribus (CP) profiles
  • Easy to explain and interpret

Cons

  • They can be misleading if some dependent variable are correlated.
    • In the apartment-prices dataset, surface and number of rooms are positive correlated.
    • In the Titanic dataset, fare and class are positive correlated.


Accumulated-local profiles address this issue.
