SHAP import local_accuracy

I’m trying to test metrics from the shap library https://github.com/slundberg/shap/blob/master/shap/benchmark/metrics.py

I tried calling metrics like this :

shap.benchmark.metrics.local_accuracy(X, y, model)

But am always getting the error :

AttributeError: module 'shap' has no attribute 'benchmark'

Answer

Try instead:

from shap.benchmark import metrics
metrics.local_accuracy(X, y, model)

Why? Inspecting package’s top level __init__.py you’ll find out the following commented line:

#from . import benchmark
