Problem

Explain the trade-offs between interpretability and predictive performance in a high-stakes medical diagnostic tool.

Discuss how you would choose between an interpretable model, such as regularized logistic regression or a shallow decision tree, and a more complex model, such as gradient-boosted trees or a neural network. Explain how you would compare discrimination, calibration, error costs, subgroup performance, and clinician usability. Include a practical evaluation and deployment plan that addresses threshold selection, human oversight, monitoring, and the possibility that explanations may be misleading.
