XAItest: Enhancing Feature Discovery with eXplainable AI
Bioconductor version: 3.24 · Package version: 1.5.0
XAItest is an R Package that identifies features using eXplainable AI (XAI) methods such as SHAP or LIME. This package allows users to compare these methods with traditional statistical tests like t-tests, empirical Bayes, and Fisher's test. Additionally, it includes simThresh, a system that enables the comparison of feature importance with p-values by incorporating calibrated simulated data.
