Direct Reason

Let $BT$ be a boosted tree composed of {$T_1,\ldots T_n$} regression trees and $x$ an instance, the direct reason for $x$ is a subset of $t_{\vec x}$ (the binary form of the instance) corresponding to the conjunction for each $T_i$ of the term associated with the unique root-to-leaf path of $T_i$ that is compatible with $x$. Due to its simplicity, it is one of the easiest abductive explanation that can be computedn but it can be highly redundant. More information about the direct reason can be found in the article Computing Abductive Explanations for Boosted Regression Trees.

<Explainer Object>.direct_reason():
Returns the direct reason for the current instance. Returns None if this reason contains some excluded features. All kinds of operators in the conditions are supported. This reason is in the form of binary variables, you must use the to_features method if you want to obtain a representation based on the features represented at start.

The basic methods (initialize, set_instance, to_features, is_reason, …) of the explainer module used in the next examples are described in the Explainer Principles page.

Example from Hand-Crafted Trees

Let us consider a loan application scenario that will be used as a running example. The goal is to predict the amount of money that can be granted to an applicant described using three attributes ($A = {A_1, A_2, A_3}$).

  • $A_1$ is a numerical attribute giving the income per month of the applicant
  • $A_2$ is a categorical feature giving its employment status as ”employed”, ”unemployed” or ”self-employed”
  • $A_3$ is a Boolean feature set to true if the customer is married, false otherwise.

BTdirect

In this example:

  • $A_1$ is represented by the feature identifier $F_1$
  • $A_2$ has been one-hot encoded and is represented by feature identifiers $F_2$, $F_3$ and $F_4$, each of these features represents respectively the condition $A_2^{1} = employed$, $A_2^{2} = unemployed$ and $A_2^{3} = self-employed$
  • $A_3$ is represented by the feature identifier $F_5$ and the condition $(A_3 = 1)$ (”the applicant is married”)

We consider the instance $x=(2200, 0, 0, 1, 1)$, corresponding to a person with a salary equal to 2200 per month, self employed (one hot encoded) and married. Then, $F(x) = 1500 + 250 + 250 = 2000$.

The direct reason for the instance $x = (2200, 0, 0, 1, 1)$ is in red and can be represented by ${A_1{>}2000, \overline{A_1{>}3000}, A_2^3, A_3}$.

We now show how to get it using PyXAI:

from pyxai import Builder, Explainer

node1_1 = Builder.DecisionNode(1, operator=Builder.GT, threshold=3000, left=1500, right=1750)
node1_2 = Builder.DecisionNode(1, operator=Builder.GT, threshold=2000, left=1000, right=node1_1)
node1_3 = Builder.DecisionNode(1, operator=Builder.GT, threshold=1000, left=0, right=node1_2)
tree1 = Builder.DecisionTree(5, node1_3)


node2_1 = Builder.DecisionNode(5, operator=Builder.EQ, threshold=1, left=100, right=250)
node2_2 = Builder.DecisionNode(4, operator=Builder.EQ, threshold=1, left=-100, right=node2_1)
node2_3 = Builder.DecisionNode(2, operator=Builder.EQ, threshold=1, left=node2_2, right=250)
tree2 = Builder.DecisionTree(5, node2_3)

node3_1 = Builder.DecisionNode(3, operator=Builder.EQ, threshold=1, left=500, right=250)
node3_2 = Builder.DecisionNode(3, operator=Builder.EQ, threshold=1, left=250, right=100)
node3_3 = Builder.DecisionNode(1, operator=Builder.GE, threshold=2000, left=0, right=node3_1)
node3_4 = Builder.DecisionNode(4, operator=Builder.EQ, threshold=1, left=node3_3, right=node3_2)
tree3 = Builder.DecisionTree(5, node3_4)


BT = Builder.BoostedTreesRegression([tree1, tree2, tree3])

We now compute the direct reason for this instance:

explainer = Explainer.initialize(BT)
explainer.set_instance((2200, 0, 0, 1, 1))
direct = explainer.direct_reason()
print("instance: (4,3,2,1)")
print("binary_representation:", explainer.binary_representation)
print("target_prediction:", explainer.target_prediction)
print("direct:", direct)
print("to_features:", explainer.to_features(direct))

instance: (4,3,2,1)
binary_representation: (1, 2, -3, -4, 5, 6, 7, -8)
target_prediction: 2000
direct: (1, 2, -3, -4, 5, 6, -8)
to_features: ('f1 in ]2000, 3000]', 'f2 != 1', 'f3 != 1', 'f4 == 1', 'f5 == 1')

As you can see, in this case, the direct reason corresponds to the full instance.

Example from a Real Dataset

For this example, we take the Houses-prices dataset (this one here). We create a model using the hold-out approach (by default, the test size is set to 30%) and select a well-classified instance. As this dataset contains strings, we encode the data using PyXAI’s Preprocessor:

from pyxai import Learning

preprocessor = Learning.Preprocessor("../../dataset/houses-prices.csv", target_feature="SalePrice", learner_type=Learning.REGRESSION)

preprocessor.unset_features(["Id"])

preprocessor.set_categorical_features(columns=[

Finally, we display the direct reason for this instance. Note that the theory created by the PyXAI’s Preprocessor is achieved by adding the parameter features_type="../../dataset/houses-prices-converted_0.types" to the initialize method. More information about theories is available on this page.

We can remark that the direct reason for this instance $x$ contains 413 binary variables of $t_{\vec x}$ out of 1696. This reason explains why the model predicts the regression value for this instance. But it is probably not the most compact reason for this instance, we invite you to look at the other types of reasons presented on the Boosted Tree Explanations page. More precisely, the Tree-Specific reasons are often more compact and therefore more interpretable reasons.
