# 💡 What is NannyML?
NannyML is an open-source python library that allows you to **estimate post-deployment model performance** (without access to targets), detect data drift, and intelligently link data drift alerts back to changes in model performance. Built for data scientists, NannyML has an easy-to-use interface, interactive visualizations, is completely model-agnostic and currently supports all tabular use cases, classification and **regression**.
The core contributors of NannyML have researched and developed multiple novel algorithms for estimating model performance: [confidence-based performance estimation (CBPE)](https://nannyml.readthedocs.io/en/stable/how_it_works/performance_estimation.html#confidence-based-performance-estimation-cbpe) and [direct loss estimation (DLE)](https://nannyml.readthedocs.io/en/stable/how_it_works/performance_estimation.html#direct-loss-estimation-dle).
The nansters also invented a new approach to detect [multivariate data drift](https://nannyml.readthedocs.io/en/stable/how_it_works/multivariate_drift.html#data-reconstruction-with-pca) using PCA-based data reconstruction.

# ☔ Why use NannyML?
NannyML closes the loop with performance monitoring and post deployment data science, empowering data scientist to quickly understand and **automatically detect silent model failure**. By using NannyML, data scientists can finally maintain complete visibility and trust in their deployed machine learning models.
Allowing you to have the following benefits:
- End sleepless nights caused by not knowing your model performance 😴
- Analyse data drift and model performance **over time**
- Discover the **root cause** to why your models are not performing as expected
- **No alert fatigue!** React only when necessary if model performance is impacted
- **Painless** setup in any environment

# 🔱 Features
### 1. Performance estimation and monitoring
When the actual outcome of your deployed prediction models is delayed, or even when post-deployment target labels are completely absent, you can use NannyML's [CBPE-algorithm](https://nannyml.readthedocs.io/en/stable/how_it_works/performance_estimation.html#confidence-based-performance-estimation-cbpe) to **estimate model performance** for classification or NannyML's [DLE-algorithm](https://nannyml.readthedocs.io/en/stable/how_it_works/performance_estimation.html#direct-loss-estimation-dle) for regression. These algorithms provide you with any estimated metric you would like, i.e. ROC AUC or RSME. Rather than estimating the performance of future model predictions, CBPE and DLE estimate the expected model performance of the predictions made at inference time.
NannyML can also **track the realised performance** of your machine learning model once targets are available.
### 2. Data drift detection
To detect **multivariate feature drift** NannyML uses [PCA-based data reconstruction](https://nannyml.readthedocs.io/en/stable/how_it_works/multivariate_drift.html#data-reconstruction-with-pca). Changes in the resulting reconstruction error are monitored over time and data drift alerts are logged when the reconstruction error in a certain period exceeds a threshold. This threshold is calculated based on the reconstruction error observed in the reference period.
NannyML utilises statistical tests to detect **univariate feature drift**. We have just added a bunch of new univariate tests including Jensen-Shannon Distance and L-Infinity Distance, check out the [comprehensive list](https://nannyml.readthedocs.io/en/stable/how_it_works/univariate_drift_detection.html#methods-for-continuous-features). The results of these tests are tracked over time, properly corrected to counteract multiplicity and overlayed on the temporal feature distributions. (It is also possible to visualise the test-statistics over time, to get a notion of the drift magnitude.)
NannyML uses the same statistical tests to detected **model output drift**.
**Target distribution drift** can also be monitored using the same statistical tests. Bear in mind that this operation requires the presence of actuals.
### 3. Intelligent alerting
Because NannyML can estimate performance, it is possible to weed out data drift alerts that do not impact expected performance, combatting alert fatigue. Besides linking data drift issues to drops in performance it is also possible to prioritise alerts according to other criteria using NannyML's Ranker.
# 🚀 Getting started
### Install NannyML
NannyML depends on [LightGBM](https://github.com/microsoft/LightGBM). This might require you to set install additional
OS-specific binaries. You can follow the [official installation guide](https://lightgbm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Installation-Guide.html).
From PyPI:
```bash
pip install nannyml
```
From Conda:
```bash
conda install -c conda-forge nannyml
```
Running via [Docker](https://hub.docker.com/r/nannyml/nannyml):
```bash
docker -v /local/config/dir/:/config/ run nannyml/nannyml nml run
```
**Here be dragons!** Use the latest development version of NannyML at your own risk:
```bash
python -m pip install git+https://github.com/NannyML/nannyml
```
#### Extras
If you're using database connections to read model inputs/outputs or you're exporting monitoring results to a database,
you'll need to include the optional `db` dependency. For example using `pip`:
```bash
pip install nannyml[db]
```
or using `poetry`
```bash
poetry install nannyml --all-extras
```
### Quick Start
_The following snippet is based on our [latest release](https://github.com/NannyML/nannyml/releases/latest)_.
```python
import nannyml as nml
import pandas as pd
from IPython.display import display
# Load real-world data:
reference_df, analysis_df, _ = nml.load_us_census_ma_employment_data()
display(reference_df.head())
display(analysis_df.head())
# Choose a chunker or set a chunk size:
chunk_size = 5000
# initialize, specify required data columns, fit estimator and estimate:
estimator = nml.CBPE(
problem_type='classification_binary',
y_pred_proba='predicted_probability',
y_pred='prediction',
y_true='employed',
metrics=['roc_auc'],
chunk_size=chunk_size,
)
estimator = estimator.fit(reference_df)
estimated_performance = estimator.estimate(analysis_df)
# Show results:
figure = estimated_performance.plot()
figure.show()
# Define feature columns:
features = ['AGEP', 'SCHL', 'MAR', 'RELP', 'DIS', 'ESP', 'CIT', 'MIG', 'MIL', 'ANC',
'NATIVITY', 'DEAR', 'DEYE', 'DREM', 'SEX', 'RAC1P']
# Initialize the object that will perform the Univariate Drift calculations:
univariate_calculator = nml.UnivariateDriftCalculator(
column_names=features,
chunk_size=chunk_size
)
univariate_calculator.fit(reference_df)
univariate_drift = univariate_calculator.calculate(analysis_df)
# Get features that drift the most with count-based ranker:
alert_count_ranker = nml.AlertCountRanker()
alert_count_ranked_features = alert_count_ranker.rank(univariate_drift)
display(alert_count_ranked_features.head())
# Plot drift results for top 3 features:
figure = univariate_drift.filter(column_names=['RELP','AGEP', 'SCHL']).plot()
figure.show()
# Compare drift of a selected feature with estimated performance
uni_drift_AGEP_analysis = univariate_drift.filter(column_names=['AGEP'], period='analysis')
figure = estimated_performance.compare(uni_drift_AGEP_analysis).plot()
figure.show()
# Plot distribution changes of the selected features:
figure = univariate_drift.filter(period='analysis', column_names=['RELP','AGEP', 'SCHL']).plot(kind='distribution')
figure.show()
# Get target data, calculate, plot and compare realized performance with estimated performance:
_, _, analysis_targets_df = nml.load_us_census_ma_employment_data()
analysis_with_targets_df = pd.concat([analysis_df, analysis_targets_df], axis=1)
display(analysis_with_targets_df.head())
performance_calculator = nml.PerformanceCalculator(
problem_type='classification_binary',
y_pred_proba='predicted_probability',
y_pred='prediction',
y_true='employed',
metrics=['roc_auc'],
chunk_size=chunk_size)
performance_calculator.fit(reference_df)
calculated_performance = performance_calculator.calculate(analysis_with_targets_df)
figure = estimated_performance.filter(period='analysis').compare(calculated_performance).plot()
figure.show()
```
