Minimum relevant features to obtain AI explainable system for predicting breast cancer in WDBC

The potential to explain why a machine learning model produces a certain prediction in incomprehensible terms is becoming increasingly crucial, as it provides accountability and confidence in the algorithm's decision-making process. The interpretation of complex models is difficult. Various approaches to dealing with this issue are being offered. These problems are typically handled in tree ensemble methods by assigning priority levels to input features globally or for a specific prediction. We show that current feature attribution approaches are inconclusive, and develop solutions using SHAP (SHapley Additive Explanation) values, LIME (Local Interpretable Model-Agnostic Explanations), and the Skope Rules package. We employ feature selection methods from SHAP and LIME in this work, which uses the Breast cancer Wisconsin data sets. In the suggested method, features are chosen at the first level of feature selection using Decision tree entropy values. Based on the SHAP and LIME reports, level 2 features are chosen from fewer options. The features are tested on a Decision Tree (DT) model and a DT and Support Vector Machine (SVM) ensemble. Experiments suggest that the ensemble works better as compared to DT. We have also used the Skope Rules package to generate global rules for generalization
