We start by training tree-based models and then compare different SHAP explainers, including Tree, Exact, Permutation, and Kernel methods, to understand how accuracy and runtime change across model-aware and model-agnostic approaches. We also examine how maskers affect explanations when features are correlated, how interaction values reveal pairwise feature effects, and how link functions alter interpretation between the log-odds and probability spaces. Also, we use Owen values, cohort testing, SHAP-based feature selection, drift monitoring, and custom black-box explanations to build a complete interpretability workflow that can run directly in Google Colab.
