Disentangled Feature Importance arXiv:2507.00260v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Feature importance quantification faces a fundamental challenge: when predictors are correlated, standard methods systematically underestimate their contributions. We prove that major existing approaches target identical population functionals under squared-error loss, revealing why they share this correlation-induced bias. To address this limitation, we introduce emph{Disentangled Feature Importance (DFI)},…
