Monitoring Machine Learning in Python

In this chapter, you will be introduced to the NannyML library and its fundamental functions. Initially, you will learn the process of preparing raw data to create reference and analysis sets ready for production monitoring. As a practical example, you will investigate predicting the tip amount for taxi rides in New York. Toward the end of the chapter, you will also discover how to estimate the performance of the tip prediction model using NannyML.

In this chapter, you will be introduced to realized performance calculators used when ground truth becomes available. You will learn about the more advanced methods for handling results, including filtering, plotting, converting them to data frames, chunking, and establishing custom thresholds. Lastly, you'll apply this knowledge to calculate the business value of a model trained on the hotel booking dataset.

Having detected the performance degradation in the hotel booking model, you will now learn how to identify the underlying issue causing it. In this chapter, you will be introduced to multivariate and univariate drift detection methods. You will also learn how to identify data quality issues and how to address the underlying problems you detect.
