counterfactuals: Counterfactual Explanations

Modular and unified R6-based interface for counterfactual explanation methods. The following methods are currently implemented: Burghmans et al. (2022) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2104.07411>, Dandl et al. (2020) <doi:10.1007/978-3-030-58112-1_31> and Wexler et al. (2019) <doi:10.1109/TVCG.2019.2934619>. Optional extensions allow these methods to be applied to a variety of models and use cases. Once generated, the counterfactuals can be analyzed and visualized by provided functionalities. The package is described in detail in Dandl et al. (2025) <doi:10.18637/jss.v115.i09>.
