Bayesian Optimization in Python: A Simplified Mock Implementation
A toy Bayesian optimization loop with a Gaussian process prior, expected improvement acquisition, and noisy sampling to find a function's minimum.
import random
import math
class BayesianOptimizer:
def __init__(self, noise=0.1):
self.noise = noise
self.observations = []
def objective(self, x):
return (math.sin(3*x) + 0.5*x) / (1 + x**2)
def gaussian_process_prior(self, x1, x2, length_scale=0.5):
return math.…
How to Build a Mock ML Pipeline with Prefect in Python
Create a lightweight Prefect flow with mock preprocessing, training, and evaluation tasks to prototype an ML pipeline end-to-end.
from prefect import task, flow
from datetime import datetime
@task
def preprocess_data(raw_value: float) -> float:
"""Mock preprocessing: normalize the input value."""
return raw_value / 100.0
@task
def train_model(features: float) -> dict:
"""Mock training: return a fake model artifact."""
return …
How to Build an sklearn Pipeline with ColumnTransformer in Python
A mock example showing how to chain preprocessing and a regression model into a single sklearn Pipeline, scaling numeric features and one-hot encoding categorical features with ColumnTransformer.
import numpy as np
from sklearn.compose import ColumnTransformer
from sklearn.preprocessing import StandardScaler, OneHotEncoder
from sklearn.pipeline import Pipeline
from sklearn.linear_model import LinearRegression
# Mock dataset
X = np.array([[1, 'red'], [2, 'blue'], [3, 'red'], [4, 'green'], [5, 'blue']], dtype=o…
How to Mock ROC AUC in Python
Compute ROC AUC from scratch in Python using pairwise comparisons between positive and negative score distributions, ideal for testing ML models without sklearn.
import random
from math import comb
def mock_roc_auc(scores, labels):
"""Compute mock ROC AUC by simulating a classifier's score distribution."""
random.seed(42)
n = len(labels)
pos_scores = [scores[i] for i in range(n) if labels[i] == 1]
neg_scores = [scores[i] for i in range(n) if labels[i] == …
