What is the purpose of the Partial Dependence Plot (PDP) in model interpretability?

Accepted Answer

The Partial Dependence Plot (PDP) helps visualize the marginal effect of one or two features on the predicted outcome, while averaging out the effects of all other features. This is crucial in understanding the relationship between features and predictions in black-box models.
