Feature interaction

As explained in Outlier Detection in Python

A feature interaction is a dependency in which the effect of one feature on a model output varies according to the value of another feature.

How Outlier Detection in Python covers it

How deep it goes

Defines the dependency and gives engineered-feature and proxy-model remedies, but does not develop interaction-detection procedures.

Examples

Uses abalone height and length, a height-to-length ratio, SHAP explanations, and PyOD importance rankings.

What it assumes

Assumes familiarity with outlier scores and feature importances; does not teach interaction detection from first principles.

What you can do after

Evaluate outlier explanations by testing engineered features or comparing SHAP with approximate importance estimates.

How it connects

Connects feature engineering, feature importance, SHAP, proxy models, and outlier detection.
