Feature attribution methods help make machine learning-based inference explainable by determining how much one or several features have contributed to a model's output. A particularly popular attribution method is based on the Shapley value…
M\"obius inversion and Shapley values are two mathematical tools for characterizing and decomposing higher-order structure in complex systems. The former defines higher-order interactions as discrete derivatives over a partial order; the…
This paper fills the limited statistical understanding of Shapley values as a variable importance measure from a nonparametric (or smoothing) perspective. We introduce population-level \textit{Shapley curves} to measure the true variable…
