    Analyze the explanation of a model using SHAP values.
    
    This function uses SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations) to explain the predictions of a model.
    It computes SHAP values for the given data and visualizes them using SHAP force plots.
    
    Args:
        model (sklearn.base.BaseEstimator): The trained machine learning model to explain.
        X (np.array or pd.DataFrame): The input data for which explanations are computed.
    
    Returns:
        shap.Explanation: The SHAP explanation object containing the SHAP values.
