Logic Rules Matrix

Logic Rules Matrix is a package to support the Explainable Matrix - ExMatrix and multiVariate dAta eXplanation - VAX methods. Both ExMatrix and VAX employ a matrix-like visual metaphor for logic rules visualization, where rules are rows, features (variables) are columns, and rules predicates are cells.

The ExMatrix must be used for model (predictive) explanations (model interpretability/explainability), while VAX must be employed for data (descriptive) explanations (phenomenon understanding).
