Overview
Rule-based classification produces ordered decision lists where each rule has associated precision and recall metrics, providing transparent and auditable classification logic.
Description
DecisionListClassifier wraps the SkopeRules algorithm to produce interpretable rule-based classifiers. Each rule is a conjunction of conditions on feature values, and rules are ordered by priority. The model provides both global explanations (the full rule list with performance metrics) and local explanations (which rule fired for each instance). This approach trades some predictive accuracy for complete transparency in the decision-making process.
Usage
Use rule-based classification when you need fully transparent, auditable classification logic that domain experts can review and validate. Requires the skope-rules package.
