"* the method offers a standardize procedure to quantify the feature importance for any learning algorithm. This contrasts with some internal feature importance for some tree-based algorithms such as [Random Forest](https://link.springer.com/article/10.1023/a:1010933404324)[[5]](#References) or [Gradient Boosting](https://www.jstor.org/stable/2699986)[[6]](#References), which have their own way to define the importance of a feature.\n",

"* since the computation of the feature importance is based on the `PD`, the method captures only the main effect of a feature and ignores possible feature interactions. The `PD` plot can be flat as the feature affects the predictions manly through interactions. This is related to the masked heterogeneity.\n",

"\n",
"* the method can fail to detect feature interactions even though those exist (see theoretical overview example below)."
