Σύνοψη	Explainable LightGBM combines Microsoft's LightGBM gradient boosting framework with SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations) to deliver both high predictive performance and rigorous, theoretically grounded feature-level explanations. It is widely adopted in applied research where predictive accuracy and interpretability are simultaneously required.	CatBoost is a gradient boosting algorithm, introduced by Prokhorenkova and colleagues at Yandex in 2018, that handles categorical variables natively and uses ordered target encoding to avoid label leakage. By building an additive ensemble of trees while permuting the data order at each iteration, it is often superior to XGBoost and LightGBM on category-heavy data.	A Decision Tree is an interpretable classification and regression method, formalised by Breiman, Friedman, Olshen and Stone in their 1984 CART framework, that partitions the data with hierarchical if-then rules. Each split sends observations down one branch or another until a prediction is read off the leaf.
