In several applications, viz. in Life Sciences, it is often more important to understand how a prediction was obtained rather than knowing what prediction was made. To this end so-called interpretable machine learning has been recently advocated. In this study, we implemented an interpretable machine learning package based on the rough set theory. An important aim of our work was provision of statistical properties of the models and their components.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>We present the R.ROSETTA package, which is an R wrapper of ROSETTA framework. The original ROSETTA functions have been improved and adapted to the R programming environment. The package allows for building and analyzing non-linear interpretable machine learning models. R.ROSETTA gathers combinatorial statistics via rule-based modelling for accessible and transparent results, well-suited for adoption within the greater scientific community. The package also provides statistics and visualization tools that facilitate minimization of analysis bias and noise. The R.ROSETTA package is freely available at <jats:ext-link xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" ext-link-type=\"uri\" xlink:href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/komorowskilab\/R.ROSETTA\">https:\/\/github.com\/komorowskilab\/R.ROSETTA<\/jats:ext-link>. To illustrate the usage of the package, we applied it to a transcriptome dataset from an autism case\u2013control study. Our tool provided hypotheses for potential co-predictive mechanisms among features that discerned phenotype classes. These co-predictors represented neurodevelopmental and autism-related genes.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>R.ROSETTA provides new insights for interpretable machine learning analyses and knowledge-based systems. We demonstrated that our package facilitated detection of dependencies for autism-related genes. Although the sample application of R.ROSETTA illustrates transcriptome data analysis, the package can be used to analyze any data organized in decision tables.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12859-021-04049-z","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,6]],"date-time":"2021-03-06T19:03:57Z","timestamp":1615057437000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["R.ROSETTA: an interpretable machine learning framework"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Mateusz","family":"Garbulowski","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Klev","family":"Diamanti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Karolina","family":"Smoli\u0144ska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Nicholas","family":"Baltzer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Patricia","family":"Stoll","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Susanne","family":"Bornel\u00f6v","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Aleksander","family":"\u00d8hrn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Lars","family":"Feuk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0766-8789","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jan","family":"Komorowski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"4049_CR1","unstructured":"Molnar C.
