calculate_permutation_importance
(pipeline, X, y, objective, n_repeats=5, n_jobs=None, random_seed=0)[source]¶ Calculates permutation importance for features.
- Parameters
pipeline (PipelineBase or subclass) – Fitted pipeline
X (ww.DataTable, pd.DataFrame) – The input data used to score and compute permutation importance
y (ww.DataColumn, pd.Series) – The target data
objective (str, ObjectiveBase) – Objective to score on
n_repeats (int) – Number of times to permute a feature. Defaults to 5.
n_jobs (int or None) – Non-negative integer describing level of parallelism used for pipelines. None and 1 are equivalent. If set to -1, all CPUs are used. For n_jobs below -1, (n_cpus + 1 + n_jobs) are used.
random_seed (int) – Seed for the random number generator. Defaults to 0.
- Returns
pd.DataFrame, Mean feature importance scores over 5 shuffles.
