What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you understand why a machine learning model made a prediction by turning feature contributions into clear, defensible explanations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Prediction explanation: Break down single predictions into baseline shifts and per-feature attributions.
  • Global interpretation: Summarize feature importance across many samples with SHAP-based rankings and distribution views.
  • Model debugging and validation: Spot leakage, unexpected feature effects, instability, and misleading behavior in trained models.
  • Fairness and comparison analysis: Compare explanations across cohorts or across multiple models to assess bias and consistency.
  • Deep learning and black-box support: Work with tree models, neural networks, linear models, and general prediction functions using the appropriate SHAP explainer.

Quick Start

Use the shap skill to explain your model’s predictions, identify the most important features, and generate the most suitable SHAP plots for both global and individual interpretation.

FAQPage Schema
How do I explain machine learning model predictions using feature importance?

Model prediction explanation breaks down outcomes into baseline shifts and per-feature attributions using SHAP values. This process clarifies how individual input features drive a specific prediction, enabling clear and defensible interpretation.

Can I use SHAP explainers for deep learning networks and tree-based models?

SHAP explainers support deep learning networks, tree-based models, linear models, and black-box estimators. Appropriate explainer selection is required to accurately attribute prediction outcomes to input features across these different model architectures.

What is the best way to visualize global feature importance across many samples?

Global interpretation summarizes feature importance across many samples using SHAP-based rankings and distribution views. Suitable plotting workflows include beeswarm, bar, and heatmap visualizations to reveal overall feature effects and model behavior.

How do I debug model instability and spot data leakage during validation?

Model debugging and validation spot leakage, unexpected feature effects, and instability by analyzing SHAP attributions. Comparing local and global feature contributions helps identify misleading behavior and validate trained models effectively.

Does SHAP support fairness analysis and model comparison across cohorts?

Fairness and comparison analysis assess bias and consistency by comparing SHAP explanations across cohorts or multiple models. This highlights differential feature effects and ensures prediction behavior remains consistent across different demographic groups.

Which plots are available for local prediction explanation and decision analysis?

Local prediction explanation utilizes waterfall, force, scatter, and decision plots to visualize per-feature attributions. These plotting workflows illustrate how individual features shift predictions from the baseline to the final output.
