Analyzing Impact of Socio-Economic Factors on COVID-19 Mortality Prediction Using SHAP Value

The feature determines the vertical position of the point, and the Shapley value determines the horizontal position. The color of the point represents whether the value of the feature is low or high. Our experiment uses red and blue to represent low or high feature values, respectively. For example, for a feature Age, an older man would be drawn as red or a redder point, whereas a younger would be described as blue or a bluer point. Overlapping points are jittered in the y-axis position. The SHAP summary plot indicates a possible relationship between feature value and the impact on model prediction. However, it does not prove any causal relationship.
