Compare Model A vs Model B Metrics in Python
A script that simulates and compares metrics between two ML models, showing a formatted diff table for quick insight.
import random
def compare_a_b(samples=5):
"""Mock comparison of model A vs model B predictions."""
metrics = ["accuracy", "precision", "recall", "f1"]
print(f"{'Metric':<12}{'Model A':>10}{'Model B':>10}{'Diff':>10}")
print("-" * 42)
random.seed(42)
for metric in metrics:

Build a small Python class that mimics a Great Expectations suite, storing and serializing column expectations as JSON.
import json
class GreatExpectationsSuite:
"""A minimal mock of a Great Expectations suite."""
def __init__(self, suite_name, expectations=None):
self.suite_name = suite_name
self.expectations = expectations or []

…Detect Concept Drift in Python with a Simple Statistical Test
Detect concept drift by comparing the mean of recent data against a reference distribution using a z-score-like threshold.
import random
import statistics
def detect_drift(recent, reference, threshold=1.5):
ref_mean = statistics.mean(reference)
ref_std = statistics.stdev(reference)
recent_mean = statistics.mean(recent)
drift_score = abs(recent_mean - ref_mean) / (ref_std if ref_std > 0 else 1)
drifted = drif…How to Compute a Confusion Matrix in Python
Compute a multi-class confusion matrix from true and predicted labels using pure Python dictionaries and nested lists, then format it for readable output.
from collections import defaultdict
def compute_confusion_matrix(y_true, y_pred, labels):
"""Compute confusion matrix using Python dicts and nested lists."""
label_index = {label: i for i, label in enumerate(labels)}
matrix = [[0] * len(labels) for _ in range(len(labels))]

Compute accuracy, precision, and recall for a binary classification model using scikit-learn's metrics functions.
from sklearn.metrics import accuracy_score, precision_score, recall_score
if __name__ == "__main__":
y_true = [0, 1, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 1]
y_pred = [0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 1]
accuracy = accuracy_score(y_true, y_pred)
precision = precision_score(y_true, y_pred)
recall = recall_score(y_true, y_pred)
…How to Impute Missing Values with Mean in Python
Replace None values in a list with the mean of the existing values using Python's statistics module.
import statistics
from statistics import mean
def impute_mean(values):
"""Replace None with the mean of the non-None values."""
# Filter out None to compute the mean of existing values
valid = [v for v in values if v is not None]
if not valid:
return values # nothing to impute if all are Non…How to Mock MLflow log_params and log_metrics in Python
Use unittest.mock to patch MLflow's log_param and log_metric, run the training function, and verify logging calls without touching a real tracking server.
from unittest.mock import Mock, patch
import mlflow
def train_model():
mlflow.log_param("learning_rate", 0.01)
mlflow.log_param("epochs", 10)
mlflow.log_metric("accuracy", 0.95)
mlflow.log_metric("loss", 0.05)
return "Training completed"

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
