Introduction

First, let's create explainers for random Forest model and linear model

library("DALEX")
library("randomForest")
library("ceterisParibus")
set.seed(59)

# set default theme
theme_set(theme_bw() + theme(text = element_text(size = 18)))

# preprare model
apartments_rf_model <- randomForest(m2.price ~ construction.year + surface + floor +
                        no.rooms + district, 
                        data = apartments)

explainer_rf <- explain(apartments_rf_model,
                        data = apartmentsTest[,2:6], 
                        y = apartmentsTest$m2.price)

Simple plots

Let's start with plots for a single observation.

apartments_A <- apartmentsTest[958,]
cp_rf_A <- ceteris_paribus(explainer_rf, apartments_A, y = apartments_A$m2.price)

plot(cp_rf_A, show_profiles = TRUE, show_observations = TRUE, 
     selected_variables = c("surface","construction.year"))

plot of chunk unnamed-chunk-2

Here are plots for neighbours of this observation.

apartments_B <- select_neighbours(apartmentsTest, apartmentsTest[958,], n = 15)
cp_rf_B <- ceteris_paribus(explainer_rf, apartments_B, y = apartments_B$m2.price)

plot(cp_rf_B, 
     show_profiles = TRUE, show_observations = TRUE, show_rugs = TRUE,
     selected_variables = c("surface","construction.year"))

plot of chunk unnamed-chunk-3

Here we have an example for a subset of observations and only points.

apartments_C <- select_sample(apartmentsTest, n = 15)
cp_rf_C <- ceteris_paribus(explainer_rf, apartments_C, y = apartments_C$m2.price)

plot(cp_rf_C, 
     show_profiles = FALSE, 
     selected_variables = c("surface","construction.year"))

plot of chunk unnamed-chunk-4

Only rugs

plot(cp_rf_C, 
     show_profiles = FALSE, show_observations = FALSE, show_rugs = TRUE, 
     selected_variables = c("surface","construction.year"))

plot of chunk unnamed-chunk-5

Only profiles

plot(cp_rf_C, 
     show_profiles = TRUE, show_observations = FALSE, 
     selected_variables = c("surface","construction.year"))

plot of chunk unnamed-chunk-6

Only residuals

plot(cp_rf_C, 
     show_profiles = FALSE, show_observations = FALSE, show_residuals = TRUE, 
     selected_variables = c("surface","construction.year"))

plot of chunk unnamed-chunk-7

Only average profile

plot(cp_rf_C, 
     show_profiles = TRUE, show_observations = FALSE, 
     aggregate_profiles = mean, size = 2,
     selected_variables = c("surface","construction.year"))

plot of chunk unnamed-chunk-8

Colors correspond to district

plot(cp_rf_C, 
     show_profiles = TRUE, show_observations = FALSE, 
     color = "district", alpha = 1,
     selected_variables = c("surface","construction.year", "district"))

plot of chunk unnamed-chunk-9

Colors correspond to surface.

plot(cp_rf_C, 
     show_profiles = TRUE, show_observations = TRUE, 
     color = "surface", alpha = 1, 
     selected_variables = c("surface","construction.year"))

plot of chunk unnamed-chunk-10

Observations without rugs.

plot(cp_rf_C, 
     show_profiles = TRUE, show_observations = TRUE, 
     selected_variables = c("surface","construction.year"))

plot of chunk unnamed-chunk-11

Different colors for different elements.

plot(cp_rf_C, 
     show_profiles = TRUE, show_observations = TRUE, show_rugs = TRUE,
     show_residuals = TRUE, 
     color = "blue", color_points = "orange", color_residuals = "red", color_rugs = "green",
     alpha = 0.3, alpha_points = 0.3, alpha_residuals = 0.5, alpha_rugs = 1,
     size_points = 4, size_rugs = 0.5,
     selected_variables = c("surface","construction.year"))

plot of chunk unnamed-chunk-12

Complex plots

Here we are going to mix two or more layers.

First one presents individual profiles and the average between profiles.

# mixtures

plot(cp_rf_C, 
     show_observations = FALSE, show_rugs = TRUE,
     show_residuals = TRUE, color_residuals = "red", size_residuals = 2,
     selected_variables = c("surface","construction.year")) +
  ceteris_paribus_layer(cp_rf_C, 
            show_observations = FALSE, show_rugs = FALSE,
            aggregate_profiles = mean, size = 2, alpha = 1,
            selected_variables = c("surface","construction.year"))

plot of chunk unnamed-chunk-13

Neighbourings for two observations.

apartments_D <- select_neighbours(apartmentsTest, apartmentsTest[348,], n = 15)
cp_rf_D <- ceteris_paribus(explainer_rf, apartments_D, y = apartments_D$m2.price)

plot(cp_rf_B, 
     show_observations = FALSE, show_residuals = TRUE, 
     color_residuals = "blue",
     selected_variables = c("surface","construction.year")) +
  ceteris_paribus_layer(cp_rf_D, 
          show_observations = FALSE, show_residuals = TRUE, 
          color = "orange", color_residuals = "red",
          selected_variables = c("surface","construction.year"))
