What-If Plot

what_if(explainer, observation, grid_points = 101,
  selected_variables = NULL)

Arguments

explainer

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

observation

a new observarvation for which predictions need to be explained

grid_points

number of points used for response path

selected_variables

if specified, then only these variables will be explained

Value

An object of the class 'what_if_explainer'. It's a data frame with calculated average responses.
