feature importance logistic regressing using shap in python

To calculate feature importances in logistic regression using SHAP in Python, you can follow these steps:

  1. Install the necessary libraries: Make sure you have SHAP and scikit-learn installed in your Python environment. If not, you can install them using the following command:

    main.py
    pip install shap scikit-learn
    
    30 chars
    2 lines
  2. Import the required modules: In your Python script, import the necessary modules and functions from SHAP and scikit-learn:

    main.py
    import shap
    from sklearn.linear_model import LogisticRegression
    
    64 chars
    3 lines
  3. Train and fit a logistic regression model: Create and fit a logistic regression model using scikit-learn's LogisticRegression class:

    main.py
    model = LogisticRegression()
    model.fit(X_train, y_train)
    
    57 chars
    3 lines
  4. Compute SHAP values: In order to calculate the feature importances, compute the SHAP values for your model using the KernelExplainer class from SHAP:

    main.py
    explainer = shap.KernelExplainer(model.predict_proba, X_train)
    shap_values = explainer.shap_values(X_test)
    
    107 chars
    3 lines
  5. Calculate the feature importance values: Finally, you can calculate the average absolute SHAP values across all instances to get the feature importance scores:

    main.py
    feature_importance = np.mean(np.abs(shap_values), axis=0)
    
    58 chars
    2 lines

Here, X_train and X_test represent your feature matrices for training and testing, and y_train is the corresponding target variable for the training set.

The feature_importance array will contain the importance scores for each feature in your logistic regression model. Higher values indicate greater importance.

Remember to replace X_train, X_test, and y_train with your actual feature and target matrices or arrays.
