+Description: This R package introduces Weighted Mean SHapley Additive exPlanations (WMSHAP),
+    an innovative method for calculating SHAP values for a grid of fine-tuned base-learner machine  
+    learning models as well as stacked ensembles, a method not previously available due to the 
     common reliance on single best-performing models. By integrating the weighted mean 
     SHAP values from individual base-learners comprising the ensemble or individual 
     base-learners in a tuning grid search, the package weights SHAP contributions 
-    according to each model's performance, assessed by the Area Under the Precision-Recall
-    Curve (AUCPR) for binary classifiers (currently implemented). It further extends this 
-    framework to implement weighted confidence intervals for weighted mean SHAP values, 
-    offering a more comprehensive and robust feature importance evaluation over a grid of 
-    machine learning models, instead of solely computing SHAP values for the best model. 
-    This methodology is particularly beneficial for addressing the severe class imbalance 
-    (class rarity) problem by providing a transparent, generalized measure of feature 
-    importance that mitigates the risk of reporting SHAP values for an overfitted or 
-    biased model and maintains robustness under severe class imbalance, where there is no 
-    universal criteria of identifying the absolute best model. Furthermore, the package 
-    implements hypothesis testing to ascertain the statistical significance of SHAP values 
-    for individual features, as well as comparative significance testing of SHAP 
-    contributions between features. Additionally, it tackles a critical gap in feature 
-    selection literature by presenting criteria for the automatic feature selection of the 
-    most important features across a grid of models or stacked ensembles, eliminating the 
-    need for arbitrary determination of the number of top features to be extracted. This 
-    utility is invaluable for researchers analyzing feature significance, particularly 
-    within severely imbalanced outcomes where conventional methods fall short. Moreover, 
-    it is also expected to report democratic feature importance across a grid of models, 
-    resulting in a more comprehensive and generalizable feature selection. The package 
-    further implements a novel method for visualizing SHAP values both at subject level 
-    and feature level as well as a plot for feature selection based on the weighted mean 
-    SHAP ratios.
