Variable importance-weighted Random Forests. [PDF]
Quant Biol, 2017 BackgroundRandom Forests is a popular classification and regression method that has proven powerful for various prediction problems in biological studies. However, its performance often deteriorates when the number of features increases. To address this limitation, feature elimination Random Forests was proposed that only uses features with the largest

Variable importance and prediction methods for longitudinal problems with missing variables. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2015 We present prediction and variable importance (VIM) methods for longitudinal data sets containing continuous and binary exposures subject to missingness. We demonstrate the use of these methods for prognosis of medical outcomes of severe trauma patients, a field in which current medical practice involves rules of thumb and scoring methods that only use

Partial dependence through stratification
Machine Learning with Applications, 2021 Partial dependence curves (FPD) are commonly used to explain feature importance once a supervised learning model has been fitted to data. However, it is common for the same partial dependence algorithm to give meaningfully different curves for different ...

Decorrelated Variable Importance
J. Mach. Learn. Res., 2021 Because of the widespread use of black box prediction methods such as random forests and neural nets, there is renewed interest in developing methods for quantifying variable importance as part of the broader goal of interpretable prediction. A popular approach is to define a variable importance parameter - known as LOCO (Leave Out COvariates) - based ...
