Inside this module
Module 01 advanced
Monitor deployed models with delayed evidence
Distinguish data shifts, concept changes, broken pipelines, and feedback effects before triggering retraining or retirement decisions.
- 01
Monitor feature populations before interpreting a drift score
Define reference populations, missing-value buckets, feature summaries, and joint checks that make an input-distribution alert interpretable.
25 min - 02
Separate score movement, confidence, and observed correctness
Monitor predicted classes and score distributions without mistaking a model's confidence for labeled evidence of accuracy.
25 min - 03
Evaluate mature prediction cohorts with knowledge-time cutoffs
Track outcome horizons, arrival delays, cohort completeness, and revisions so recent incomplete labels do not masquerade as changing model quality.
26 min - 04
State which part of the input–outcome distribution changed
Use covariate, label-prior, and conditional-outcome assumptions carefully, and recognize what unlabeled observations cannot identify.
27 min - 05
Calibrate a family of drift tests, including repeated looks
Connect two-sample statistics to their sampling assumptions and distinguish a single-window threshold from a valid monitoring-wide error claim.
27 min - 06
Track slice quality with support and composition visible
Distinguish within-slice degradation from traffic-mix changes, and report the uncertainty and weighting support behind subgroup performance.
26 min - 07
Monitor the population that the decision policy lets you observe
Identify selective labels and action-induced feedback, and scope inverse-observation weighting to its actual identification assumptions.
28 min - 08
Trace a changed feature through its production pipeline
Use raw-to-transformed lineage, schema invariants, joins, and replay evidence to distinguish a population change from a broken measurement path.
26 min - 09
Turn monitoring evidence into a testable replacement decision
Separate investigation triggers from model promotion, and use paired shadow evidence without mistaking mirrored predictions for a causal online experiment.
27 min - 10
Retire the model only after its consumers and delayed work migrate
Treat retirement as a dependency transition covering aliases, pinned artifacts, batch jobs, in-flight requests, delayed labels, and rollback obligations.
