evalml.data_checks.TargetLeakageDataCheck.validate

TargetLeakageDataCheck.validate(X, y)

Check if any of the features are highly correlated with the target.

Currently only supports binary and numeric targets and features.

Parameters

• X (pd.DataFrame) – The input features to check

• y (pd.Series) – The target data

Returns

dict with a DataCheckWarning if target leakage is detected.

Return type

dict (DataCheckWarning)

Example

>>> X = pd.DataFrame({
...    'leak': [10, 42, 31, 51, 61],
...    'x': [42, 54, 12, 64, 12],
...    'y': [12, 5, 13, 74, 24],
... })
>>> y = pd.Series([10, 42, 31, 51, 40])
>>> target_leakage_check = TargetLeakageDataCheck(pct_corr_threshold=0.8)
>>> assert target_leakage_check.validate(X, y) == {"warnings": [{"message": "Column 'leak' is 80.0% or more correlated with the target",                                                                             "data_check_name": "TargetLeakageDataCheck",                                                                             "level": "warning",                                                                             "code": "TARGET_LEAKAGE",                                                                             "details": {"column": "leak"}}],                                                               "errors": []}
