Worked Example for Probability & Statistics focuses on prediction confidence calibration, distribution shift score, and false-positive/false-negative balance. The goal is to connect model behavior to hardware-aware decisions and operational risk.
A release check flags prediction confidence calibration, distribution shift score, and false-positive/false-negative balance. Correct triage freezes revision tags, identifies failing layer, and validates one bounded fix before broad rollout.
