Due to the limits of human perception, the size of the set of features of interest must be small (usually, one or two) thus they are usually chosen among the most important features. Similarly, an individual conditional expectation (ICE) plot [3]_ shows the dependence between the target function and a feature of interest. However, unlike partial dependence plots, which show the average effect of the features of interest, ICE plots visualize the dependence of the prediction on a feature for each :term:`sample` separately, with one line per sample. Only one feature of interest is supported for ICE plots. This example shows how to obtain partial dependence and ICE plots from a :class:`~sklearn.neural_network.MLPRegressor` and a :class:`~sklearn.ensemble.HistGradientBoostingRegressor` trained on the bike sharing dataset. The example is inspired by [1]_. .. [1] `Molnar, Christoph. "Interpretable machine learning. A Guide for Making Black Box Models Explainable", 2019. `_ ..

GENERATED FROM PYTHON SOURCE LINES 95-102 Before we go into the details regarding the preprocessing of the different machine learning pipelines, we will try to get some additional intuition regarding the dataset that will be helpful to understand the model's statistical performance and results of the partial dependence analysis. We plot the average number of bike rentals by grouping the data by season and by year. ..

GENERATED FROM PYTHON SOURCE LINES 138-160 The first striking difference between the train and test set is that the number of bike rentals is higher in the test set. For this reason, it will not be surprising to get a machine learning model that underestimates the number of bike rentals. We also observe that the number of bike rentals is lower during the spring season. In addition, we see that during working days, there is a specific pattern around 6-7 am and 5-6 pm with some peaks of bike rentals. We can keep in mind these different insights and use them to understand the partial dependence plot. Preprocessor for machine-learning models ---------------------------------------- Since we later use two different models, a :class:`~sklearn.neural_network.MLPRegressor` and a :class:`~sklearn.ensemble.HistGradientBoostingRegressor`, we create two different preprocessors, specific for each model.

.. GENERATED FROM PYTHON SOURCE LINES 191-205 1-way partial dependence with different models ---------------------------------------------- In this section, we will compute 1-way partial dependence with two different machine-learning models: (i) a multi-layer perceptron and (ii) a gradient-boosting model. With these two models, we illustrate how to compute and interpret both partial dependence plot (PDP) for both numerical and categorical features and individual conditional expectation (ICE). Multi-layer perceptron ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Let's fit a :class:`~sklearn.neural_network.MLPRegressor` and compute single-variable partial dependence plots. ..

GENERATED FROM PYTHON SOURCE LINES 226-245 We configured a pipeline using the preprocessor that we created specifically for the neural network and tuned the neural network size and learning rate to get a reasonable compromise between training time and predictive performance on a test set. Importantly, this tabular dataset has very different dynamic ranges for its features. Neural networks tend to be very sensitive to features with varying scales and forgetting to preprocess the numeric feature would lead to a very poor model. It would be possible to get even higher predictive performance with a larger neural network but the training would also be significantly more expensive. Note that it is important to check that the model is accurate enough on a test set before plotting the partial dependence since there would be little use in explaining the impact of a given feature on the prediction function of a model with poor predictive performance. In this regard, our MLP model works reasonably well. We will plot the averaged partial dependence. ..

GENERATED FROM PYTHON SOURCE LINES 307-318 Here, we used the default hyperparameters for the gradient boosting model without any preprocessing as tree-based models are naturally robust to monotonic transformations of numerical features. Note that on this tabular dataset, Gradient Boosting Machines are both significantly faster to train and more accurate than neural networks. It is also significantly cheaper to tune their hyperparameters (the defaults tend to work well while this is not often the case for neural networks). We will plot the partial dependence for some of the numerical and categorical features. ..

GENERATED FROM PYTHON SOURCE LINES 338-367 Analysis of the plots ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We will first look at the PDPs for the numerical features. For both models, the general trend of the PDP of the temperature is that the number of bike rentals is increasing with temperature. We can make a similar analysis but with the opposite trend for the humidity features. The number of bike rentals is decreasing when the humidity increases. Finally, we see the same trend for the wind speed feature. The number of bike rentals is decreasing when the wind speed is increasing for both models. We also observe that :class:`~sklearn.neural_network.MLPRegressor` has much smoother predictions than :class:`~sklearn.ensemble.HistGradientBoostingRegressor`. Now, we will look at the partial dependence plots for the categorical features. We observe that the spring season is the lowest bar for the season feature. With the weather feature, the rain category is the lowest bar. Regarding the hour feature, we see two peaks around the 7 am and 6 pm. These findings are in line with the the observations we made earlier on the dataset. However, it is worth noting that we are creating potential meaningless synthetic samples if features are correlated. ICE vs. PDP ~~~~~~~~~~~ PDP is an average of the marginal effects of the features. We are averaging the response of all samples of the provided set. Thus, some effects could be hidden. In this regard, it is possible to plot each individual response. This representation is called the Individual Effect Plot (ICE). In the plot below, we plot 50 randomly selected ICEs for the temperature and humidity features. ..

GENERATED FROM PYTHON SOURCE LINES 388-398 We see that the ICE for the temperature feature gives us some additional information: Some of the ICE lines are flat while some others show a decrease of the dependence for temperature above 35 degrees Celsius. We observe a similar pattern for the humidity feature: some of the ICEs lines show a sharp decrease when the humidity is above 80%. Not all ICE lines are parallel, this indicates that the model finds interactions between features.

GENERATED FROM PYTHON SOURCE LINES 450-466 The two-way partial dependence plot shows the dependence of the number of bike rentals on joint values of temperature and humidity. We clearly see an interaction between the two features. For a temperature higher than 20 degrees Celsius, the humidity has a impact on the number of bike rentals that seems independent on the temperature. On the other hand, for temperatures lower than 20 degrees Celsius, both the temperature and humidity continuously impact the number of bike rentals. Furthermore, the slope of the of the impact ridge of the 20 degrees Celsius threshold is very dependent on the humidity level: the ridge is steep under dry conditions but much smoother under wetter conditions above 70% of humidity. We now contrast those results with the same plots computed for the model constrained to learn a prediction function that does not depend on such non-linear feature interactions. ..

GENERATED FROM PYTHON SOURCE LINES 486-507 The 1D partial dependence plots for the model constrained to not model feature interactions show local spikes for each features individually, in particular for for the "humidity" feature. Those spikes might be reflecting a degraded behavior of the model that attempts to somehow compensate for the forbidden interactions by overfitting particular training points. Note that the predictive performance of this model as measured on the test set is significantly worse than that of the original, unconstrained model. Also note that the number of local spikes visible on those plots is depends on the grid resolution parameter of the PD plot itself. Those local spikes result in a noisily gridded 2D PD plot. It is quite challenging to tell whether or not there are no interaction between those features because of the high frequency oscillations in the humidity feature. However it can clearly be seen that the simple interaction effect observed when the temperature crosses the 20 degrees boundary is no longer visible for this model. The partial dependence between categorical features will provide a discrete representation that can be shown as a heatmap.
