Malicious npm Package Targets Solana Developers and Hijacks Funds
A malicious npm package targets Solana developers, rerouting funds in 2% of transactions to a hardcoded address.
powershap is a feature selection method that uses statistical hypothesis testing and power calculations on Shapley values, enabling fast and intuitive wrapper-based feature selection.
pip | pip install powershap |
---|
powershap is built to be intuitive, it supports various models including linear, tree-based, and even deep learning models for classification and regression tasks.
from powershap import PowerShap
from catboost import CatBoostClassifier
X, y = ... # your classification dataset
selector = PowerShap(
model=CatBoostClassifier(n_estimators=250, verbose=0, use_best_model=True)
)
selector.fit(X, y) # Fit the PowerShap feature selector
selector.transform(X) # Reduce the dataset to the selected features

Powershap is built on the core assumption that an informative feature will have a larger impact on the prediction compared to a known random feature.
The required number of iterations and the threshold values are hyperparameters of powershap. However, to avoid manually optimizing the hyperparameters powershap by default uses an automatic mode that automatically determines these hyperparameters.
