Feature drift basics

Feature drift basics

- [Narrator] Having discussed concept drift, let's now focus on the other type of drift called feature drift. A feature drift occurs when the distribution of values or classes of features change over time. This indicates a change in the features that are different from those that were used during model training. Looking at the conditional probability formula, there is a change in the probability of X for feature drift. One important question is whether the occurrence of a feature drift would mean that a concept drift is also happening. There may be a concept drift, or there may not be. A change in probability of X may be accompanied by an equivalent change in the joint probability of X and Y, leaving probability of Y given X unchanged. Let's look at some examples of feature drift. In the same example of predicting whether a patient is diabetic, let's look at the distribution of classes over a few months. In the first three…
