shap.prep: Prepare SHAP values into long format for plotting

In SHAPforxgboost: SHAP Plots for 'XGBoost'

Prepare SHAP values into long format for plotting

Description

Produce a dataset of 6 columns: ID of each observation, variable name, SHAP value, variable values (feature value), deviation of the feature value for each observation (for coloring the point), and the mean SHAP values for each variable. You can view this example dataset included in the package: shap_long_iris

Usage

shap.prep(
  xgb_model = NULL,
  shap_contrib = NULL,
  X_train,
  top_n = NULL,
  var_cat = NULL
)

Arguments

xgb_model	an XGBoost (or LightGBM) model object, will derive the SHAP values from it
shap_contrib	optional to directly supply a SHAP values dataset. If supplied, it will overwrite the xgb_model if xgb_model is also supplied
X_train	the dataset of predictors used to calculate SHAP values, it provides feature values to the plot, must be supplied
top_n	to choose top_n variables ranked by mean|SHAP| if needed
var_cat	if supplied, will provide long format data, grouped by this categorical variable

Details

The ID variable is added for each observation in the shap_contrib dataset for better tracking, it is created as 1:nrow(shap_contrib) before melting shap_contrib into long format.

Value

a long-format data.table, named as shap_long

Examples

data("iris")
X1 = as.matrix(iris[,-5])
mod1 = xgboost::xgboost(
  data = X1, label = iris$Species, gamma = 0, eta = 1,
  lambda = 0, nrounds = 1, verbose = FALSE, nthread = 1)

# shap.values(model, X_dataset) returns the SHAP
# data matrix and ranked features by mean|SHAP|
shap_values <- shap.values(xgb_model = mod1, X_train = X1)
shap_values$mean_shap_score
shap_values_iris <- shap_values$shap_score

# shap.prep() returns the long-format SHAP data from either model or
shap_long_iris <- shap.prep(xgb_model = mod1, X_train = X1)
# is the same as: using given shap_contrib
shap_long_iris <- shap.prep(shap_contrib = shap_values_iris, X_train = X1)

# **SHAP summary plot**
shap.plot.summary(shap_long_iris, scientific = TRUE)
shap.plot.summary(shap_long_iris, x_bound  = 1.5, dilute = 10)

# Alternatives options to make the same plot:
# option 1: from the xgboost model
shap.plot.summary.wrap1(mod1, X = as.matrix(iris[,-5]), top_n = 3)

# option 2: supply a self-made SHAP values dataset
# (e.g. sometimes as output from cross-validation)
shap.plot.summary.wrap2(shap_score = shap_values_iris, X = X1, top_n = 3)
####
#
# use `var_cat` to add a categorical variable, output the long-format data differently:
library("data.table")
data("iris")
set.seed(123)
iris$Group <- 0
iris[sample(1:nrow(iris), nrow(iris)/2), "Group"] <- 1

data.table::setDT(iris)
X_train = as.matrix(iris[,c(colnames(iris)[1:4], "Group"), with = FALSE])
mod1 = xgboost::xgboost(
  data = X_train, label = iris$Species, gamma = 0, eta = 1,
  lambda = 0, nrounds = 1, verbose = FALSE, nthread = 1)

shap_long2 <- shap.prep(xgb_model = mod1, X_train = X_train, var_cat = "Group")
# **SHAP summary plot**
shap.plot.summary(shap_long2, scientific = TRUE) +
  ggplot2::facet_wrap(~ Group)
