WARNING: This vignette is very much a work in progress and is subject to change as the package evolves!

Getting started

This package requires reticulate and an appropriate Python environment with the interpret library installed. If you're not a Python user, then I'd suggest reading through some of the reticulate vignettes to learn more. In particular:

See vignette("versions", package = "reticulate") for learning more about Python version configuration.
See vignette("python_packages", package = "reticulate") for learning more about installing Python packages.
See vignette("python_primer", package = "reticulate") for learning more about interacting with Python objects through reticulate (this can be useful for understanding more advanced usage of the ebm package)

For simplicity, this package also provides an install_interpret() function for installing the sole Python library dependency; see ebm::?install_interpret() for details.

For a full overview of the ebm package, see article titled "RJournal article (in progress)".
