Extrapolation using machine learning models under specific assumptions

I have a problem that requires inherently extrapolation. I am aware that this a crucial matter with most (if not all) machine learning models. Yet, given the physical phenomenon underlying the experiment, there is some expert knowledge that could be…

Using bootstrap confidence intervals for partial dependence plots

Core Question Bootstrapping could be used to calculate confidence intervals (CIs) for Partial Dependence Plots (PDPs) from a random forest. But would this be appropriate? Example I have a dataset with 5000 observations, a (count) dependent variable…

Understanding the behavior of a neural network when extrapolated

I trained a Multilayer Perceptron to predict a variable Y based on a set of predictors. Then I decided to test it on unseen data outside of the training range. I am aware of (some of) the implications of extrapolating machine learning models, and…

Partial_dependence_plot with gbt estimator has a mean response shift between curves computed by different methods ( 'brute' or 'recursion')

The new version of scikit-learn's partial_dependence function has the 'kind' additional option. With kind='average' one can compute the values for the partial dependence plot (PDP), with kind='individual' one can plot the individual conditional…
