Dependencies

shapley-numba package depends only on numba and numpy.

Features

• Fast exact Shapley calculation.
• Shapley Monte Carlo approximation.
• Harsanyi Dividends (synergies) computation.
• Set iteration tools.
• Game authoring tools and game templates.

Quickstart

See tutorial notebook for quick start.

Usage

This package is intended to compute quantities associated with cooperative games. Currently we want to implement two functions:

1. Shapley values
2. Harsanyi dividends, also called synergies.

This package also provides tools to author and modify cooperative games, such as game templates.

A game is a class that implements value method. The value method should accept a numpy array of zeros and ones indicating membership of each element in the subset.

The intended use of the package is for games where each computation of value is relatively cheap. This allows to speed up such computations using numba.

For optimal performance, the game should be written so that it can be compiled using numba.experimental.jitclass compiler. That way, numba compiled functions can be applied. Otherwise, a python fallback will be applied.

The basic usage is as follows:

from shapley_numba.shapley import shapley
from shapley_numba.examples import GloveGame
glove_game = GloveGame(num_left_gloves=1)
shapley(glove_game, num_players=3)

See documentation for detailed reference.

Alternatives

• SHAP applies Shapley values to machine learning models but can be used in conjunction with any game.
