Introduction We’ve been writing on the distribution density shapes expected for probability models in ROC (receiver operator characteristic) plots, double density plots, and normal/logit-normal densities frameworks. I thought I would re-approach the issue with a specific family of examples.
Our group has written a lot on calibration of models and even conditional calibration of models. In our last note we mentioned the possibility of “fully calibrated models.” This note is an example of a probability model that is calibrated in the traditional sense, but not fully calibrated in a […]
In the previous article in this series, we showed that common ensemble models like random forest and gradient boosting are uncalibrated: they are not guaranteed to estimate aggregates or rollups of the data in an unbiased way. However, they can be preferable to calibrated models such as linear or generalized […]
