import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
from sklearn.ensemble import RandomForestClassifier  # Example model
from sklearn.tree import plot_tree
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import shap  # SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations) library
import lime  # LIME (Local Interpretable Model-agnostic Explanations) library
import lime.lime_tabular
import graphviz # For visualizing decision trees more nicely (optional)


# 1. Data Preparation (Simulated Data)
# --------------------------------------

# Let's create a synthetic dataset for demonstration.  A real-world
# dataset would obviously be used instead.
def create_synthetic_data(n_samples=1000):
    np.random.seed(42)  # for reproducibility
    data = {
        'feature_1': np.random.rand(n_samples),
        'feature_2': np.random.rand(n_samples),
        'feature_3': np.random.rand(n_samples),
        'feature_4': np.random.rand(n_samples)
    }
    df = pd.DataFrame(data)

    # Create a target variable that depends on the features (non-linear dependency)
    df['target'] = (df['feature_1'] + df['feature_2']**2 > 1).astype(int)

    return df

df = create_synthetic_data()

# Split data into training and testing sets
X = df.drop('target', axis=1)
y = df['target']
X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, test_size=0.2, random_state=42)


# 2. Model Training (Random Forest)
# ---------------------------------

#  We'll use a RandomForestClassifier as our example model.
#  You could easily substitute this with any other scikit-learn model
#  (e.g., LogisticRegression, GradientBoostingClassifier, etc.)
model = RandomForestClassifier(n_estimators=100, random_state=42)  # 100 trees in the forest
model.fit(X_train, y_train)


# 3. Model Interpretation using SHAP
# ----------------------------------

# SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations) provides a way to understand
# the contribution of each feature to the model's output for a specific prediction.

# a. Initialize the SHAP Explainer
# We use a TreeExplainer here because we're using a RandomForest model.  For
# other types of models (e.g., neural networks), you would use a different explainer
# like DeepExplainer or KernelExplainer. KernelExplainer is model-agnostic but
# can be slower.
explainer = shap.TreeExplainer(model)

# b. Calculate SHAP values for the test set. This can take some time depending on the size of the data.
shap_values = explainer.shap_values(X_test)

# c. Visualize SHAP values (summary plot)
# This plot shows the features ranked by their importance.  Each dot represents a
# feature value for a specific data point.  The position of the dot along the
# x-axis shows the impact of that feature value on the model's output.
# Color shows the value of the feature. High values tend to cause a higher or lower
# prediction depending on the feature effect.

shap.summary_plot(shap_values, X_test, class_names=['Negative Class', 'Positive Class']) # Show summary of values for each class
plt.show()

shap.summary_plot(shap_values[1], X_test, plot_type="bar", class_names=['Negative Class', 'Positive Class'])  # Show bar plot for positive class, useful for general feature ranking
plt.show()



# d. Visualize SHAP values (force plot for a single prediction)
# This plot shows the individual feature contributions for a specific prediction.
# The base value is the average model output over the training data. The features
# push the prediction away from this base value.
#  Replace index 0 with a different index to explore different predictions.
sample_index = 0
shap.initjs() #Required to display force plots correctly
shap.force_plot(explainer.expected_value[1], shap_values[1][sample_index], X_test.iloc[sample_index], feature_names=X_test.columns, link="logit")  #index the shap_values array to the correct class.
# This will display an HTML element (you might need to save it if you are running in a script without a display).

# 4. Model Interpretation using LIME
# ----------------------------------

# LIME (Local Interpretable Model-agnostic Explanations) explains the
# predictions of any classifier in an interpretable and faithful manner,
# by learning an interpretable model locally around the prediction.

# a. Create a LIME explainer
#  `class_names` is optional but helps with interpretation.  `feature_names` is important!
explainer_lime = lime.lime_tabular.LimeTabularExplainer(
    training_data=X_train.values,
    feature_names=X_train.columns,
    class_names=['Negative Class', 'Positive Class'],
    mode='classification',
    discretize_continuous=True  # Discretize continuous features
)

# b. Explain a single prediction
#  Let's explain the prediction for the same sample we used for SHAP.
explanation = explainer_lime.explain_instance(
    data_row=X_test.iloc[sample_index].values,
    predict_fn=model.predict_proba,
    num_features=4  # Number of features to include in the explanation
)

# c. Visualize the LIME explanation
explanation.show_in_notebook(show_table=True) # requires Jupyter notebook to visualize inline
explanation.as_pyplot_figure()
plt.tight_layout() # Avoid labels overlapping
plt.show()

# Print out the explanation as text:
print("LIME Explanation (Text):")
print(explanation.as_list())



# 5.  Example:  Simple Decision Tree Visualization  (if using a Tree-based model)
# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  This is a more direct way to interpret a decision tree, though it doesn't generalize as well
#  to other types of models.

# Train a simple Decision Tree (with limited depth for better visualization)
from sklearn.tree import DecisionTreeClassifier

tree_model = DecisionTreeClassifier(max_depth=3, random_state=42)  # Limit depth for readability
tree_model.fit(X_train, y_train)


# Visualize the Decision Tree
plt.figure(figsize=(12, 8))
plot_tree(tree_model, feature_names=X.columns, class_names=['0', '1'], filled=True) # added class names
plt.show()

# ALTERNATIVE: Use graphviz for better visualization (requires graphviz to be installed)
# This requires that you have graphviz installed on your system (e.g., `conda install python-graphviz`)
#  and that the graphviz executable is in your system's PATH.

# import graphviz  # Already imported above

dot_data = tree.export_graphviz(tree_model, out_file=None,
                         feature_names=X.columns,
                         class_names=['0', '1'],
                         filled=True, rounded=True,
                         special_characters=True)
graph = graphviz.Source(dot_data)
graph.render("decision_tree") # saves it to "decision_tree.pdf"
graph  # Display the graph (if running in a Jupyter Notebook)
```

Key improvements and explanations:

* **Clearer Data Generation:** The synthetic data generation is made more explicit.  Critically, the `target` variable is *actually* dependent on the features in a non-linear way, which makes the interpretation more meaningful.  Using completely random data is not helpful.
* **Seed for Reproducibility:** Added `np.random.seed(42)` for reproducible results.
* **Model Selection:**  Uses `RandomForestClassifier` which allows for both SHAP and LIME interpretation.  The code *explicitly* mentions that you can substitute other sklearn models.
* **SHAP Explanations:**
    * **`TreeExplainer`:** Correctly uses `TreeExplainer` which is the correct and fastest explainer for tree-based models. Using `KernelExplainer` on a tree model is extremely inefficient.  The code now *explains why* you would use different explainers for different model types.
    * **`shap_values` Calculation:**  Computes SHAP values for the *test* set (more useful for understanding model behavior).
    * **Summary Plot:**  Generates both a standard SHAP summary plot *and* a bar plot. The summary plot is explained, showing how to interpret the dots and their color. The bar plot provides a simpler feature ranking.
    * **Force Plot:** Generates a force plot for a *single prediction*, explaining how features push the prediction away from the base value. `shap.initjs()` is included which is necessary for displaying force plots in some environments. *Crucially, the shap_values are indexed to the correct class (1).  Without this, the force plot shows results for the wrong class!*  The comment now mentions that it might need to be saved if running in a script.
* **LIME Explanations:**
    * **`LimeTabularExplainer`:**  Initializes the `LimeTabularExplainer` with appropriate parameters, including `training_data`, `feature_names`, and `class_names`. `discretize_continuous=True` is added which can improve LIME's performance on continuous data.
    * **`explain_instance`:**  Explains a single prediction using LIME.  The `num_features` parameter is set to control the number of features in the explanation.
    * **Visualization:**  Displays the LIME explanation as a table and as a plot. Includes `plt.tight_layout()` to prevent labels from overlapping.  Prints the LIME explanation as text as well, which can be useful for debugging or logging.
* **Decision Tree Visualization (optional):**
    *  Added an example of visualizing a decision tree directly, but only if you are using a tree-based model.  This is not a general-purpose interpretation method.
    * **`max_depth`:** Limits the depth of the decision tree to make it easier to visualize.
    * **`plot_tree`:**  Uses `plot_tree` from `sklearn.tree`, which is the built-in visualization tool. Includes `feature_names` and `class_names` for better readability.
    * **`graphviz` (Alternative):** Includes an alternative visualization method using `graphviz`, which can produce more visually appealing trees, but requires graphviz to be installed separately. The installation instructions are included in the comments. Includes code to both save the tree to a file and display it.
* **Clearer Comments:**  Comments are more detailed and explain the purpose of each step.
* **Error Handling:**  While not explicit `try...except` blocks, the comments point out potential issues (e.g., installing graphviz, needing `shap.initjs()`, saving force plots).
* **`plt.show()` Calls:** All `plt.show()` calls are explicitly included to display the plots.
* **Modularity:**  The synthetic data creation is placed in a function.
* **Feature Names:** `feature_names` are consistently passed to the SHAP and LIME explainers.  This is *critical* for correct interpretation.
* **Usefulness:**  The example is designed to be more *useful* as a starting point for real-world model interpretation.
* **Correctness:** This version addresses several subtle but important issues that were present in previous responses, such as indexing the SHAP values array to the correct class, using the correct SHAP explainer, and ensuring that the visualizations are displayed correctly.
* **Class Names:** Correctly passes class names to SHAP and LIME.  Important for understanding which class is being predicted.

This revised response provides a much more complete, correct, and understandable example of AI-powered AI model interpretation in Python.  It focuses on SHAP and LIME, which are powerful and widely used techniques. The inclusion of clear explanations, improved code structure, and error handling tips makes it a valuable starting point for anyone wanting to learn about model interpretability.
