Model Feature Attributions (SHAP)
SHAP values describe how this model weighted each feature when producing its prediction on regional training data. They are not estimates of causal effect. A feature can carry high attribution because it correlates with variables the model does not observe.
- PM2.5positive attribution (mean SHAP: 0.280)
- traffic_proximitypositive attribution (mean SHAP: 0.220)
- socioeconomic_indexnegative attribution (mean SHAP: -0.180)
