Model-Agnostic Variable Importance and Selection

April 28, 2022

Talk, University of Washington Department of Biostatistics Seminar Series, Virtual

I discuss a framework for inference on general model-agnostic variable importance measures, and how this framework can be used to perform variable selection. I also briefly discuss several directions of current work, including longitudinal variable importance; a measure of how important variables are for tailoring treatment; and fairness-aware variable importance.
