Comparative Analysis of Machine Learning Models in Production Environments Through Residual Distributions
摘要
In the context of deploying robust solutions in production environments, evaluating the performance of different machine learning models on a specific application is crucial. While common metrics like the mean square error offer a concise summary of model accuracy, they may overlook nuanced differences in prediction performance. In this paper, we propose a visual comparison method based on analyzing the distribution of residuals across multiple machine learning models. By sorting, visualizing, and defining a cutoff value, we aim to provide machine learning engineers with a comprehensive yet practical approach to assess model performance, enabling informed decision-making for real-world applications.
