-### Task 2.3: Enhanced Feature Importance (0%)
-- [ ] Permutation importance
-- [ ] Conditional importance
-- [ ] Integration with Phase 8 (SHAP)
+**Objective**: Calculate feature importance using model-agnostic methods that handle correlations
+
+**Key Parameters**:
+```r
+OmicSelector_importance(
+  model,
+  data,
+  outcome,
+  method = c("permutation", "conditional", "both"),
+  metric = NULL,  # Auto-detected
+  n_repeats = 10,
+  normalize = TRUE,
+  conditional_grid = 5,
+  parallel = TRUE
+)
+```
+
+**Methods Implemented**:
+
+1. **permutation** (Breiman 2001)
+   - Model-agnostic approach
+   - Permute each feature and measure performance drop
+   - Repeated multiple times for confidence intervals
+   - Works with any trained model
+
+2. **conditional** (Strobl et al. 2008)
+   - Handles correlated features correctly
+   - Conditional permutation within correlation groups
+   - Prevents inflated importance for correlated features
+   - More reliable than standard permutation
+
+3. **both**
+   - Calculates both methods for comparison
+   - Highlights where correlations affect importance
+   - Publication-ready comparison tables
+
+**Key Features**:
+- Auto-detects classification vs regression
+- Provides standard errors and confidence intervals
+- Z-scores for significance testing
+- Multiple metrics: accuracy, AUC, RMSE, MAE
+- S3 methods: print(), summary(), plot()
+- Parallel processing support
+
+**Validation**:
+- ✅ Tested with mock data (17 features)
+- ✅ Correctly identifies important features
+- ✅ All S3 methods working
+- ✅ Input validation working
