What do you monitor about features (not just models)?
mediumAnswer
- (1) Freshness: is the feature updated on schedule?
- (2) Completeness: missing rate per feature.
- (3) Distribution drift: PSI / MMD vs baseline.
- (4) Cardinality: for categorical, new unseen values.
- (5) Correlation stability: pairwise correlations vs baseline.
- (6) Feature importance stability: SHAP over time.
- (7) Range violations: values outside expected.
- Store per-feature health score → dashboard.
- Predictive: feature health degrades before model does.
Check yourself — multiple choice
- Random
- Freshness + completeness + drift (PSI/MMD) + cardinality (new values) + correlation stability + SHAP importance stability + range violations; feature health degrades before model
- Only models
- Not real
Feature monitoring: freshness + completeness + drift + cardinality + correlation + importance + range.
