#' Compute feature importance in a model
#' 
#' Creates a \code{data.table} of feature importances in a model.
#' 
#' @param model object of class \code{lgb.Booster}.
#' @param percentage whether to show importance in relative percentage.
#' 
#' @return
#' 
#' For a tree model, a \code{data.table} with the following columns:
#' \itemize{
#'   \item \code{Feature} Feature names in the model.
#'   \item \code{Gain} The total gain of this feature's splits.
#'   \item \code{Cover} The number of observation related to this feature.
#'   \item \code{Frequency} The number of times a feature splited in trees.
#' }
