SHAP/Evidence
Method evidence record

SHAP

SHAP is a model-explanation method, introduced by Scott Lundberg and Su-In Lee in 2017, that uses Shapley values from cooperative game theory to measure how much each feature contributes to an individual prediction, making the output of black-box machine-learning models interpretable. It supports both global explanations (overall feature importance) and local explanations (why one specific prediction came out the way it did).
