abstract: A general framework for constructing variable importance plots from various
  types of machine learning models in R. Aside from some standard model- specific
  variable importance measures, this package also provides model- agnostic approaches
  that can be applied to any supervised learning algorithm. These include 1) an efficient
  permutation-based variable importance measure, 2) variable importance based on Shapley
  values (Strumbelj and Kononenko, 2014) <https://doi.org/10.1007/s10115-013-0679-x>,
  and 3) the variance-based approach described in Greenwell et al. (2018) <https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.1805.04755>.
  A variance-based method for quantifying the relative strength of interaction effects
  is also included (see the previous reference for details).
