Paper compares feature selection methods using GCM and LOCO, showing GCM methods generally outperform LOCO.

problem Feature selection and importance estimation in model-agnostic settings.
method Comparison of feature selection methods related to GCM and LOCO under three model settings.
result GCM-related methods generally outperform LOCO under suitable regularity conditions, as shown by theoretical and empirical results.

TabPFN models achieve state-of-the-art performance on tabular data tasks.

problem Lack of interpretability in TabPFN models.
method Adaptations of interpretability methods specifically designed for TabPFN, leveraging in-context learning and LOCO.
result Improved interpretability of TabPFN models through efficient computations and scalable data valuation methods.

The paper derives theoretical foundations for two common machine learning variable importance measures.

problem Understanding variable importance in machine learning problems.
method The paper derives closed-form expressions for Permute-and-Predict (PaP) and Leave-One-Covariate-Out (LOCO) methods.
result Theoretical derivations explain the behavior of PaP and LOCO under collinearity, linking them to coefficients and predictor variability.

New method disentangles high-order effects in feature importance.

problem Quantifying cooperative effects in feature importance.
method Adaptive Leave One Covariate Out (LOCO) method to decompose LOCO into two-body and higher-order components.
result Decomposes LOCO into two-body and higher-order components, highlighting synergistic and redundant effects.

We develop a general framework for distribution-free predictive inference in regression, using conformal inference. The proposed methodology allows for the construction of a prediction band for the response variable using any estimator of the regression function. The resulting prediction band preserves the consistency …
