Explainable LightGBM/Evidence
Method evidence record

Explainable LightGBM

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.
