Comparing different dependency-aware approaches when the size of x_explain is large

[aliamini-uq]

Dear @martinju,

Thanks again for introducing shapr package.
Inspired by Using Shapley Values and Variational Autoencoders to Explain Predictive Models with Dependent Mixed Features, I want to compare the performance of different dependency modeling approaches with Abalone dataset. In this paper, the sizes of x_train and x_explain are 4077 and 100, respectively. However, I want to increase the size of x_explain to 1200. Based on issue #370, it seems there is a limit on the size of x_explain equal to 200. Would you please help me what should I do? My ultimate goal is to compare the performance of different approaches (e.g., independence, ctree, vaeac, and empirical) using plot_MSEv_eval_crit().
Last but not least, I am most grateful for your priceless time in advance.

Kind regards,
A

There is no limit on the size of x_explain. Just increase n_batches accordingly and should be fine (in theory). If you want to be on the safe side (not risiking losing anything) you can pass just a few x_explain at a time.
