Query: Efficient nonparametric statistical inference on population feature
  importance using Shapley values   The true population-level importance of a variable in a prediction task
provides useful knowledge about the underlying data-generating mechanism and
can help in deciding which measurements to collect in subsequent experiments.
Valid statistical inference on this importance is a key component in
understanding the population of interest. We present a computationally
efficient procedure for estimating and obtaining valid statistical inference on
the Shapley Population Variable Importance Measure (SPVIM). Although the
computational complexity of the true SPVIM scales exponentially with the number
of variables, we propose an estimator based on randomly sampling only
$\Theta(n)$ feature subsets given $n$ observations. We prove that our estimator
converges at an asymptotically optimal rate. Moreover, by deriving the
asymptotic distribution of our estimator, we construct valid confidence
intervals and hypothesis tests. Our procedure has good finite-sample
performance in simulations, and for an in-hospital mortality prediction task
produces similar variable importance estimates when different machine learning
algorithms are applied.
