CRAN release 0.9.0

Announcements for upcoming version 1.0.0

The following breaking changes are intended for version 1.0.0.

Deprecated functionality

• add_shap(): Deprecated in favor of {kernelshap} or {fastshap}.
• Consequently, type = "shap" in light_profile(), light_importance(), light_scatter(), and light_profile2d() is deprecated as well.
• plot_counts(): Deprecated. Might later be replaced by {ggside}.
• Argument stats = "quartiles in light_profile() and light_effects().

External -> internal

These functions will become internal in {flashlight} 1.0.0. Most likely you have never used any of them.

• grouped_center()
• grouped_counts()
• grouped_stats()
• grouped_weighted_mean()
• light_check()
• light_combine()
• light_recode() -> similar functionality will be added as option in light_effects()
• all_identical()
• auto_cut()
• cut3()

Options and column names

Currently, predefined column names in data objects returned by light_*() functions can be changed via options(). For instance, the model name is stored in column "label", which can be changed via option flashlight.label_name = "label".

In {flashlight} 1.0.0, these options will vanish. To avoid clashs with existing feature names, we will use exotic column names such as "label_" instead. As a consequence, data returned by light_*() functions will have different column names.

Maintenance

• Introduced Github actions
• Comply with {dplyr} and {ggplot2} depreciation cycles
• Better help files
• More compact vignette(s)
• Dropped suggested packages caret, mlr3, mlr3learners, moderndive, ranger, xgboost
