[SPRINT] December 8 2025, Montpellier #545
Description
List of open tasks that can be tackled during the sprint
Release
- Make a release for the new API. Related PR: Element for the first release #258
User guide
The user guide was created during the previous sprint, but many sections remain to be written.
- Section on GLM
- Sections on model-agnostic methods (related PR [DOC] User guide section 3. model-agnostic methods: CFI #402 )
- Section on visualization (related PR: [DOC] Add FI visualization & partial dependence plot to user guide #405 )
- Populate the glossary (related PR [DOC] add a glossary and notations page #419 )
- Section on very high dim (related PR: [DOC] Very high dim #425 )
New methods
Some new methods could be added to the library in future releases. This list is open to discussion:
- Marginal selection with HSIC: "A Kernel Statistical Test of Independence"
- The Marginal selection module mostly remains to be developed (related PR: [FEAT] Add Leave One and Covarate In #358 [FEAT] Add marginal variable importance base on sklearn funtion #317 )
- cSAGEvf: total Sobol index inferred by marginaliation
Testing
The testing (for the CI) of the methods implemented in the library has been subject to debate (#375 ). One of the tradeoffs is that methods are stochastic and often provide guarantees in expectation. While ideally the test would check that the implementation indeed provides the guarantees, it should also be done in a reasonable computation time (typically <1min per test) and be robust, that is, fail with a very low probability.
Also, the current tests are not uniform between methods.
