Overview
In production ground truth is often delayed or absent. Traditional data drift detection techniques are noisy and do not only alert to changes that impact model performance.
Performance estimation allows you to estimate performance metrics (ROC-AUC, F1, RMSE, etc) without ground truth. Giving you a single metric to monitor, optimize and communicate about your models in production.
Some specific examples of when you could benefit from estimating your performance include:
When predicting loan defaults, to estimate model performance before the end of the repayment periods.
In demand forecasting, the ground truth demand will only be known after the forecast window has passed. Esimating performance lets you know how your model is performaning in real time.
When performing sentiment analysis, targets may be entirely unavailable without significant human effort, so estimation is the only feasible way to attain metrics.
Highlights
- Estimate the performance of machine learning models in production when targets are absent or delayed.
- NannyML supports Confidence Based Performance Estimation (CBPE) for performance estimation of binary and multiclass classification models.
- NannyML supports Direct Loss Estimation (DLE) for performance estimation of regression models.

Amazon SageMaker algorithm
An Amazon SageMaker algorithm is a machine learning model that requires your training data to make predictions. Use the included training algorithm to generate your unique model artifact. Then deploy the model on Amazon SageMaker for real-time inference or batch processing. Amazon SageMaker is a fully managed platform for building, training, and deploying machine learning models at scale.

Additional details
Inputs
- Summary
The input should be a CSV file. It should contain the names of the columns in the first row.
The required columns depend on the "parameters" defined during training. For more information read NannyML Performance Estimation Documentation .
The required number of rows depend on the chunking method defined during training.
- Limitations for input type
- The first line of the file should be the columns names, and it should contain the columns defined on the "parameters" during training. For realtime, the maximum size of the input data per invocation is 6 MB. For batch, the maximum size of the input data per invocation is 100 MB.
- Input MIME type
- text/csv
Input data descriptions
The following table describes supported input data fields for real-time inference and batch transform.
Field name | Description | Constraints | Required |
|---|---|---|---|
y_pred | This column type is required on all machine learning problem types. The values are the predicted labels for classification and predicted number for regression.
Notice that the column name mapped to this column type on the "parameters" hyperparameter is defined during training, so you can have a different name for it on your CSV file. | Type: FreeText
Limitations: For classification data type can be text or integer but for regression it will be continuous. | Yes |
y_pred_proba | This column type is required on classification problem types. The values are the predicted scores or probabilities for a specific class.
Notice that the column name mapped to this column type on the "parameters" hyperparameter is defined during training, so you can have a different name for it on your CSV file. | Default value: No default values
Type: Continuous | No |
feature_column_names | This input refers to a list of required columns when using the performance estimation algorithm on a regression problem.
The list should include all the column names that should be consider features of the model whose performance we are predicting. | Default value: No default values
Type: FreeText
Limitations: The values are the features of your model. These can be categorical or continuous. NannyML identifies this based on their declared pandas data types. | No |
y_true | This column type contains actual model targets and is required on all machine learning problem types for the training data only.
Notice that the column name mapped to this column type on the "parameters" hyperparameter is defined during training, so you can have a different name for it on your CSV file.
[Optional] If you include this column on your inference data, realized performance will also be calculated separately to estimated performance to facilitate easy comparison. | Default value: No default values
Type: FreeText
Limitations: For classification data type can be text or integer but for regression it will be continuous. | No |
