woodtapper 0.0.8

A Python toolbox for interpretable and explainable tree ensembles.

User-friendly and scalable Python package for tapping decision tree ensembles

WoodTapper is a Python toolbox for interpretable and explainable tree ensembles learning, fully compatible with the scikit-learn API.

🪵 Key Features

• Rule extraction from tree-based ensembles.
• Example-based explanation module that links predictions to a small set of representative samples.

🛠 Installation

From PyPi:

pip install woodtapper

🌿 WoodTapper RulesExtraction module

## RandomForestClassifier rules extraction
from woodtapper.extract_rules import SirusClassifier

SIRUS = SirusClassifier(n_estimators=1000,max_depth=2,
                          quantile=10,p0=0.01, random_state=0)
SIRUS.fit(X_train,y_train)
y_pred_sirus = SIRUS.predict(X_test)

🌱 WoodTapper ExampleExplanation module

## RandomForestClassifier rules extraction
from woodtapper.example_sampling import RandomForestClassifierExplained

RFExplained = RandomForestClassifierExplained(n_estimators=100)
RFExplained.fit(X_train,y_train)
example_explanation = RFExplained.explanation(X_test) # Get the 5 most similar samples for each test sample
