Explainable Isolation Forest/Evidence
Method evidence record

Explainable Isolation Forest

Explainable Isolation Forest combines the Isolation Forest anomaly detection algorithm with post-hoc explainability tools — most commonly SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations) — to not only flag anomalous observations but also reveal which features drove each anomaly score. It bridges unsupervised anomaly detection with the interpretability demands of regulated and high-stakes domains.
