Technical requirements
There are just a few things that we'll need in order to go through this chapter.
The first is that the Anaconda distribution is installed. As we know, this includes Python, conda, Navigator, as well as many other packages used in data science.
We will use the following packages:
- SHAP
- LIME
- pandas
- NumPy
- Scikit-learn
You should create a new conda environment to install all of these packages. It's recommended to install them all at the beginning, but you can also do so as you get to the relevant part of the chapter.
After you have these things in place, we can look at why we should care about the interpretation of models in the first place.
