Mechanisms¶
- Leakage Ablation Test
- Correlated leakage means removing one proxy can leave a second, redundant one still feeding the answer, so an ablation that shows no drop is not proof of innocence — the signal may simply have rerouted.
This sourceShows that single-variable removal can understate predictive importance when correlated or duplicated variables carry overlapping information, so a null individual ablation is not exculpatory.
