ML engineering pipelines
Feature prep, batch inference, model-serving hooks, and production ML workflow glue.
Build a Mock Random Forest Classifier in Python
Create a simple random-forest-like classifier with random majority voting between trees, including fit, predict, and predict_proba methods.
import random
class MockRandomForest:
def __init__(self, n_trees=10, random_state=42):
self.n_trees = n_trees
self.random_state = random_state
self.classes_ = None
self._class_counts = None
random.seed(random_state)
def fit(self, X, y):
self.classes_ = sorted(…
How to Build a Simple ML Pipeline with ZenML in Python
Build a mock machine learning pipeline with ZenML steps for data loading, training, and evaluation, and run it to print the final accuracy.
from zenml import pipeline, step
@step
def load_data() -> dict:
"""Simulate loading data from a source."""
return {"accuracy": 0.0, "loss": 1.0}
@step
def train_model(data: dict) -> dict:
"""Simulate training a model."""
data["accuracy"] = 0.95
data["loss"] = 0.1
return data
@step
def eva…
How to Detect Data Drift with PSI in Python
Calculate the Population Stability Index (PSI) in Python to compare expected vs actual distributions and detect data drift in machine learning pipelines.
import numpy as np
def calculate_psi(expected, actual, buckets=10):
"""Calculate Population Stability Index (PSI) between two distributions."""
# Create bucket edges based on expected distribution percentiles
edges = np.percentile(expected, np.linspace(0, 100, buckets + 1))
edges[-1] = np.inf # Ensur…
How to Save and Load a Mock Model with Pickle and joblib in Python
Serialize a custom machine learning model to a .joblib file with joblib.dump, reload it, and run a prediction with joblib.load.
import joblib
from pathlib import Path
class MockModel:
def __init__(self, weights):
self.weights = weights
def predict(self, features):
return sum(w * f for w, f in zip(self.weights, features))
def save_model_pickle(model, filepath):
with open(filepath, "wb") as f:
joblib.dump(…
How to do feature selection with VarianceThreshold in Python
This code demonstrates how to use scikit-learn's VarianceThreshold to remove low-variance features from a NumPy array, keeping only those that vary enough to be useful for modeling.
import numpy as np
from sklearn.feature_selection import VarianceThreshold
def main():
# Mock dataset: 4 samples, 5 features
X = np.array([
[0.1, 0.2, 1.0, 1.0, 0.5],
[0.2, 0.2, 0.0, 1.0, 0.4],
[0.1, 0.2, 1.0, 1.0, 0.6],
[0.3, 0.2, 1.0, 0.0, 0.5]
])
# Select features w…
