Research direction

Start by locating the dependency declaration and searching the repository for imports or usages of the shap package. Check whether those usages are non-essential, then run the existing tests and verify that installation works without the dependency. Done means the package is no longer required and the project remains functional.

Description

Hi! Fasttreeshap is great example of real applied computer science research, thank you! It is much faster and configurable than the original shappackage.
We were wondering if the referenced original shap package could be removed from Fasttreeshap, as it looks like it's only used for non-essential code, and as shap is a huge library, it could speed up the installation process and could make Fastreeshap's installation a lot more lightweight.

Thank you for considering it!
