Description

Short Description

Hi, I have been wordering if there is a way to connect the bart regression model with some other tree based model, like XGboost or sklearn's trees. This in order to use the bart model to estimate some of the parameters of these models and then use the other tree models to generate SHAP values. This is based on the following blog in towardsdatascience.com: Bayesian inference.

This will generate a more thorough analysis of the black box model generated from the BART model.

Code Example or link

This can be seen in examples from : this blog post

And the shap value package is: shap

Research direction

No repository file, test, or entry point is identified. Start with the linked blog post and SHAP documentation, then inspect the repository’s BART usage examples; a finished issue would need a defined integration path and tests demonstrating the requested model and SHAP workflow.
