Feature Quality Checkpoint #3
This lesson focuses on prevent data leakage using a practical personalized recommendation prototype scenario. You will apply commands: jupyter lab | df.head() | df.info(). The code example demonstrates a concrete workflow aligned with this lesson objective, not generic filler.
Code Example
import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame({
"feature_a": [12, 18, 25, 31, 28, 22],
"feature_b": [3, 4, 8, 7, 6, 5],
"target": [0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0],
})
def build_summary(frame: pd.DataFrame):
metrics = {
"rows": len(frame),
"mean_a": float(frame["feature_a"].mean()),
"mean_b": float(frame["feature_b"].mean()),
"target_rate": float(frame["target"].mean()),
}
return metrics
print("run:", "jupyter lab")
print(build_summary(df))Commands & References
- jupyter lab
- df.head()
- df.info()
Lab Steps
- Prepare environment using: jupyter lab
- Load a small sample dataset and validate schema.
- Run the core code workflow and collect metrics.
- Compare results and write one improvement note.
Exercises
- Change one hyperparameter and compare impact.
- Add one validation rule to reduce bad inputs.
- Document one failure mode and mitigation.
