One of the most popular methods of the machine learning prediction explanation is the SHapley Additive exPlanations method (SHAP). An imprecise SHAP as a modification of the original SHAP is proposed for cases when the class probability distributions are imprecise and represented by sets of distributions. The first idea behind the imprecise SHAP is a new approach for computing the marginal contribution of a feature, which fulfils the important efficiency property of Shapley values. The second idea is an attempt to consider a general approach to calculating and reducing interval-valued Shapley values, which is similar to the idea of reachable probability intervals in the imprecise probability theory. A simple special implementation of the general approach in the form of linear optimization problems is proposed, which is based on using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov distance and imprecise contamination models. Numerical examples with synthetic and real data illustrate the imprecise SHAP.
