Tests if model prediction is invariant to perturbations
For classification: Test if the predicted classification label remains the same after feature values perturbation. For regression: Check whether the predicted output remains the same at the
output_sensibility
level after feature values perturbation.The test is passed when the ratio of invariant rows is higher than the threshold.
Example: The test is passed when, by switching gender from male to female, more than 50%(threshold 0.5) of males have unchanged outputs.
- Parameters:
model (BaseModel) β Model used to compute the test
dataset (Dataset) β Dataset used to compute the test
transformation_function (TransformationFunction) β Function performing the perturbations to be applied on dataset.
slicing_function (Optional[SlicingFunction]) β Slicing function to be applied on dataset.
threshold (float) β The threshold value for the ratio of invariant rows.
output_sensitivity (float) β For regression models. The threshold for ratio between the difference between perturbed prediction and actual prediction over the actual prediction for a regression model. We consider there is a prediction difference for regression if the ratio is above the output_sensitivity of 0.1.
debug (bool) β If True and the test fails, a dataset will be provided containing the non-invariant rows.
- Returns:
A TestResult object containing the test result.
