HDDM_W

Drift Detection Method based on Hoeffding's bounds with moving weighted average-test.

HDDM_W is an online drift detection method based on McDiarmid's bounds. HDDM_W uses the Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) statistic as estimator.

Input: x is an entry in a stream of bits, where 1 indicates error/failure and 0 represents correct/normal values.

For example, if a classifier's prediction \(y'\) is right or wrong w.r.t. the true target label \(y\):

  • 0: Correct, \(y=y'\)

  • 1: Error, \(y \neq y'\)

Implementation based on MOA.

Parameters

  • drift_confidence

    Default → 0.001

    Confidence to the drift

  • warning_confidence

    Default → 0.005

    Confidence to the warning

  • lambda_val

    Default → 0.05

    The weight given to recent data. Smaller values mean less weight given to recent data.

  • two_sided_test

    Default → False

    If True, will monitor error increments and decrements (two-sided). By default will only monitor increments (one-sided).

Attributes

  • drift_detected

    Whether or not a drift is detected following the last update.

  • warning_detected

    Whether or not a drift is detected following the last update.

Examples

import random
from river import drift

rng = random.Random(42)
hddm_w = drift.binary.HDDM_W()

data_stream = rng.choices([0, 1], k=1000)
data_stream = data_stream + rng.choices([0, 1], k=1000, weights=[0.3, 0.7])

print_warning = True
for i, x in enumerate(data_stream):
    _ = hddm_w.update(x)
    if hddm_w.warning_detected and print_warning:
        print(f"Warning detected at index {i}")
        print_warning = False
    if hddm_w.drift_detected:
        print(f"Change detected at index {i}")
        print_warning = True

Warning detected at index 451
Change detected at index 1077
