scores, allowing us to understand the hierarchy of feature contribution in botnet detection. Formally, if 𝑛 is the number of features, the sorted index 𝑆={𝑆1,𝑆2,…,𝑠𝑛} is obtained such that 𝐹𝐼(𝑆1)≥𝐹𝐼(𝑠2)≥⋯≥𝐹𝐼(𝑆𝑛). 31 We then plotted these scores on a horizontal bar chart with the y-axis representing
