  • It seems that there is no validations for explainable model parameters. This may cause cryptic Exceptions from explainable model classes. So catching these errors earlier.
  • Also refactoring some code around setting of parameters for explainable_model_args.

oh I guess you moved it to line 347, I guess that's ok, my only slight concern is now we are doing the same checks in multiple places:

is_tree_model = explainable_model.explainable_model_type == ExplainableModelType.TREE_EXPLAINABLE_MODEL_TYPE
        if is_tree_model and self._supports_categoricals(explainable_model):

but it's not expensive so I think it's ok
