========================
Partial Dependence Plots
========================
Partial dependence plots show the dependence between the target function [2]_
and a set of 'target' features, marginalizing over the
values of all other features (the complement features). Due to the limits
of human perception the size of the target feature set must be small (usually,
one or two) thus the target features are usually chosen among the most
important features.
This example shows how to obtain partial dependence plots from a
:class:`~sklearn.neural_network.MLPRegressor` and a
:class:`~sklearn.ensemble.HistGradientBoostingRegressor` trained on the
California housing dataset. The example is taken from [1]_.
The plots show four 1-way and two 1-way partial dependence plots (ommitted for
:class:`~sklearn.neural_network.MLPRegressor` due to computation time).
The target variables for the one-way PDP are: median income (`MedInc`),
average occupants per household (`AvgOccup`), median house age (`HouseAge`),
and average rooms per household (`AveRooms`).

the link function.

# Analysis of the plots
# ---------------------
#
# We can clearly see that the median house price shows a linear relationship
# with the median income (top left) and that the house price drops when the
# average occupants per household increases (top middle).
# The top right plot shows that the house age in a district does not have
# a strong influence on the (median) house price; so does the average rooms
# per household.
# The tick marks on the x-axis represent the deciles of the feature values
# in the training data.
#
# We also observe that :class:`~sklearn.neural_network.MLPRegressor` has much
# smoother predictions than
# :class:`~sklearn.ensemble.HistGradientBoostingRegressor`. For the plots to be
# comparable, it is necessary to subtract the average value of the target
# ``y``: The 'recursion' method, used by default for
# :class:`~sklearn.ensemble.HistGradientBoostingRegressor`, does not account
# for the initial predictor (in our case the average target). Setting the
# target average to 0 avoids this bias.
#
# Partial dependence plots with two target features enable us to visualize
# interactions among them. The two-way partial dependence plot shows the
# dependence of median house price on joint values of house age and average
# occupants per household. We can clearly see an interaction between the
# two features: for an average occupancy greater than two, the house price is
# nearly independent of the house age, whereas for values less than two there
# is a strong dependence on age.

# 3D interaction plots

#
# Let's make the same partial dependence plot for the 2 features interaction,
# this time in 3 dimensions.
