How do I choose the right SHAP explainer for my model?

The skill provides a decision guide: use TreeExplainer for trees, DeepExplainer for neural networks, LinearExplainer for linear models, and KernelExplainer as a model-agnostic fallback when others aren't applicable.

What model types does this SHAP skill support?

It supports a wide range of models including tree-based models like XGBoost and LightGBM, deep learning frameworks like PyTorch and TensorFlow, linear models, and any black-box model via KernelExplainer.

Does this skill help with SHAP performance issues?

Absolutely. It provides strategies for optimization such as background data sampling, batch processing, and selecting faster explainer variants to handle large-scale datasets.

Can this skill help with identifying model bias?

Yes, it includes specialized workflows for fairness analysis, allowing you to compare feature importance across different demographic cohorts and identify proxy features that may be causing bias.
