Learning Reference
Use this checklist before trusting any validation score.
Leakage warning signs
- Near-perfect validation with ordinary features.
- A feature is recorded after the event.
- One identifier dominates feature importance.
- Deployment performance collapses.
- Duplicates cross validation folds.
Safe validation checklist
- Split before fitting preprocessing steps.
- Fit transforms inside each training fold.
- Use grouped or chronological validation when required.
- Reserve the test set for final evaluation.
- Verify every feature exists at prediction time.
