[feature request] interpreting forests by extracting simple rules

[nakamichiworks]

It is very interesting approach to data analysis to use complex machine learning models for exploratory data analysis.

There are some works that tries to make tree ensembles interpretable by extracting simple and relevant rules from them.

• inTrees (R package)
• defragTrees (Python implementation only)

I think these works are also useful for exploratory data analysis.

Are you interested in integrating these methods in edarf package?

hey i don't know how i missed this.

yes i agree that they would be nice to have in the package. i would be open to adding them but they are pretty far down on my priority list. if you wanted to work on it i'd be happy to help as well.
