"""Feature importance in a model inspection technique that can be used for any
fitted predictor when the data is tablular.
This implementation is also known as permutation importance that is defined to
be the variation of the model's prediction when a single feature value is
randomly shuffled. In RLlib it is implemented as a custom OffPolicyEstimator
which is used to evaluate RLlib policies without performing environment
interactions.
Example usage: In the example below the feature importance module is used to
evaluate the policy and the each feature's importance is computed after each
training iteration. The permutation are repeated `self.repeat` times and the
results are averages across repeats.
