📘 Project Overview

Garrick Piñón — ETL Algorithm

This branch contains reproducible ETL scaffolding and benchmark results on the TCP-DI dataset.
It validates that medium-mode ETL improves downstream classification performance across three models.

🧪 Experiment Setup

• Dataset: UCI Adult (used as a sandbox for TCP-DI benchmarking)
• ETL Mode: Medium
  • log1p skew correction
  • uniform “?” → NaN normalization
  • median imputation for numeric features
• Models Evaluated: Logistic Regression, Random Forest, Gradient Boosting
• Metrics Tracked: F1 Score, ROC AUC

📚 Textbook vs. Codebook Framing

This experiment is designed to serve both institutional review and team deployment:

Textbook (Institutional Optics)

• Validates that medium-mode ETL yields measurable lift across legacy classifiers.
• Demonstrates audit-grade reproducibility with metrics, visuals, and coverage diagnostics.
• Anchors future fault-injection and LLM-repair experiments with a clean baseline.

Codebook (Team Deployment)

• Modular ETL pipeline with plug-and-play preprocessing logic.
• Starter cells for SHAP, confusion matrix, and ROC curve generation.
• W&B logging scaffold for metrics and media, ready for sweep integration.
• Flat notebook structure for fast onboarding and reproducible reruns.

📐 Mathematical Framing

We benchmark ETL impact and repair efficacy using six core formulations:

---

1. Incremental ETL Lift

$$ \Delta_{\text{ETL}} = \mathbb{E}[M_{\text{ETL}}] - \mathbb{E}[M_{\text{Raw}}] $$

• ( M ): Model performance metric (e.g., F1, AUC)
• ( \mathbb{E} ): Expected value across randomized trials

---

2. Feature-Level Marginal Impact

$$ \delta_j = \left.\frac{\partial M}{\partial x_j}\right|_{\text{ETL}} - \left.\frac{\partial M}{\partial x_j}\right|_{\text{Raw}} $$

• ( x_j ): Feature ( j )
• ( \partial M / \partial x_j ): Sensitivity of model performance to feature ( j )

---

3. Jacobian Delta Across Features

$$ \Delta \mathbf{J} = \nabla_{\mathbf{x}} M \big|_{\text{ETL}} - \nabla_{\mathbf{x}} M \big|_{\text{Raw}} $$

• ( \nabla_{\mathbf{x}} M ): Gradient vector of model performance w.r.t. all features
• ( \mathbf{x} ): Feature vector

---

4. Cascade Length

$$ C = \sum_{t=1}^{T} E_t \cdot I_t $$

• ( E_t ): Binary indicator of error presence at step ( t )
• ( I_t ): Impact factor of error at step ( t )
• ( T ): Total number of transformation steps

---

5. Repair Success Rate

$$ R = \frac{1}{N} \sum_{i=1}^{N} T_i $$

• ( T_i = 1 ) if error ( e_i ) is correctly repaired, else 0
• ( N ): Total number of injected errors

---

6. Error Propagation Probability

$$ P(\text{propagate beyond } m \mid E_k) = \prod_{i=k}^{m} \left(1 - P(D_i)\right) $$

• ( E_k ): Error injected at step ( k )
• ( D_i ): Detection event at step ( i )
• ( P(D_i) ): Probability that an error is detected at step ( i )
• ( m ): Final step in propagation window
• ( \prod ): Product over steps ( i = k ) to ( m )

---

These formulations anchor our evaluation of validation strategies under synthetic fault injection. They quantify the lift from ETL preprocessing, the containment of error cascades, and the efficacy of LLM-assisted repair. Each metric is logged per run and aggregated across datasets to assess robustness, precision, and runtime trade-offs.

🧪 Codebook Translation

The above math is operationalized as:

for mode in ["raw", "etl"]:
    pipe = Pipeline([
        ("pre", etl_medium if mode=="etl" else "passthrough"),
        ("clf", RandomForestClassifier())
    ])
    pipe.fit(X_train, y_train)
    y_pred = pipe.predict(X_test)
    f1 = f1_score(y_test, y_pred)
    auc = roc_auc_score(y_test, pipe.predict_proba(X_test)[:,1])
    print(f"{mode.upper()} → F1: {f1:.3f}, AUC: {auc:.3f}")
