Audit a Sepsis Early-Warning Model for Subgroup Performance
Overview
What this challenge is about.
Audit a Sepsis Early-Warning Model for Subgroup Performance. Advanced challenge in analysis. Analyzing real datasets and building models that drive decisions...
The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
Run a defensible pre-deployment audit of a sepsis early-warning model with discrimination, calibration, fairness, and a monitoring plan.
This is not a data exercise. It is the work an analyst does when stakeholders need answers from messy data. That distinction matters to every hiring manager who has seen candidates describe statistical methods and none who have extracted insight from messy, real-world data.
When you finish, you will have something most graduates do not: a real-world deliverable, verified by Ewance, that you can show to a hiring manager and say "I did this. Here is the proof."
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Audit a clinical early-warning model across multiple axes
- Quantify subgroup gaps in a clinical-safety-relevant way
- Propose mitigations that respect clinical workflow constraints
- Communicate audit findings to a medical-informatics committee
