This function calculated individual profiles aka Ceteris Paribus Profiles. From DALEX version 1.0 this function calls the ceteris_paribus from the ingredients package. Find information how to use this function here: https://ema.drwhy.ai/ceterisParibus.html.

predict_profile(
  explainer,
  new_observation,
  variables = NULL,
  ...,
  type = "ceteris_paribus",
  variable_splits_type = "uniform"
)

individual_profile(
  explainer,
  new_observation,
  variables = NULL,
  ...,
  type = "ceteris_paribus",
  variable_splits_type = "uniform"
)

Arguments

explainer

a model to be explained, preprocessed by the explain function

new_observation

a new observation for which predictions need to be explained

variables

character - names of variables to be explained

...

other parameters

type

character, currently only the ceteris_paribus is implemented

variable_splits_type

how variable grids shall be calculated? Use "quantiles" (default) for percentiles or "uniform" to get uniform grid of points. Will be passed to `ingredients`.

Value

An object of the class ceteris_paribus_explainer. It's a data frame with calculated average response.
