On Robustness of the Explanatory Power of Machine Learning Models: Insights From a New Explainable AI Approach Using Sensitivity Analysis by Banamali Panigrahi, Saman Razavi, Lorne E. Doig, Blanchard Cordell, Hoshin V. Gupta, Karsten Liber

“…Unlike many methods for explainable artificial intelligence (XAI), this method (a) accounts for complex multi‐variate distributional properties of data, common in environmental systems, (b) offers a global assessment of the input‐output response surface formed by ML, rather than focusing solely on local regions around existing data points, and (c) is scalable and data‐size independent, ensuring computational efficiency with large data sets. We apply this method to a suite of ML models predicting various water quality variables in a pilot‐scale experimental pit lake. …”
