Overview of this book

Debugging Machine Learning Models with Python is a comprehensive guide that navigates you through the entire spectrum of mastering machine learning, from foundational concepts to advanced techniques. It goes beyond the basics to arm you with the expertise essential for building reliable, high-performance models for industrial applications. Whether you're a data scientist, analyst, machine learning engineer, or Python developer, this book will empower you to design modular systems for data preparation, accurately train and test models, and seamlessly integrate them into larger technologies. By bridging the gap between theory and practice, you'll learn how to evaluate model performance, identify and address issues, and harness recent advancements in deep learning and generative modeling using PyTorch and scikit-learn. Your journey to developing high quality models in practice will also encompass causal and human-in-the-loop modeling and machine learning explainability. With hands-on examples and clear explanations, you'll develop the skills to deliver impactful solutions across domains such as healthcare, finance, and e-commerce.

Causal modeling to reduce risks and improve performance

Causal modeling helps in eliminating unreliable correlative relationships between variables. Eliminating such unreliable relationships reduces the risks of wrong decision-making across different domains of applications for machine learning, such as healthcare. Decisions in healthcare, such as diagnosing diseases and assigning effective treatment regimens to patients, have a direct effect on quality of life and survival. Hence, decisions need to be based on reliable models and relationships in which causal modeling and inference could help us (Richens et al., 2020; Prosperi et al., 2020; Sanchez et al., 2022).

Causal modeling techniques help in eliminating bias, such as confounding and collider bias, in our models (Prosperi et al., 2020) (Figure 15.1). An example of such bias is smoking as a confounder of the relationship between yellow fingers and lung cancer (Prosperi et al., 2020). As shown in Figure 15.1, the existence of...
