Is there an R package for Locally Interpretable Model Agnostic Explanations? One of the researchers, Marco Ribeiro, who developed this method of explaining how black box models make their decisions has developed a Python implementation of the algorithm available through Github, but has anyone developed a R package? If so, can you report on using it?
Yes, there is now a port to R, which is available here.
It purports to provide LIME explanations for any classifier that implements a predict() method accepting a type = 'prob' argument. I have not yet tested it myself.
