Prognosen mit Kalibrierung, Wiederholung und Sicherheitskontrollen bewerten
Zusammenfassung
Dieses Notebook erläutert, wie Wahrscheinlichkeitsprognosen bewertet und Prognosepipelines gesteuert werden. Es vergleicht Brier- und Log-Scores, den erwarteten Kalibrierungsfehler und die Schärfe; zeigt, wie Zuverlässigkeitsdiagramme Bereiche mit über- oder unterkonfidenten Prognosen erkennen lassen; und beschreibt, wie Kalibrierungstransformationen angepasst werden, ohne sie anhand derselben Beobachtungen zu bewerten. Außerdem behandelt es die Wiederholung eines Durchlaufs mit eingefrorenen Suchbelegen, die Durchsetzung von Werkzeugberechtigungen über einen Proxy und die Prüfung nicht vertrauenswürdiger Texte auf Einschleusungsversuche.
Die Beispiele verwenden aufgelöste binäre Fragen und synthetische Wahrscheinlichkeiten, die nach der Auflösung ausgewählt wurden. Sie veranschaulichen Berechnungen und Kontrollen, können aber weder Prognosefähigkeit noch Kalibrierung belegen. Aufgrund der kleinen Stichprobe sind auch die Zuverlässigkeitsschätzungen instabil. Das Notebook betont, dass Sicherheitsfilter nur bekannte Muster erkennen, die Durchsetzung von Richtlinien von den vorgegebenen Regeln abhängt und eine Wiederholung Belegunterschiede isoliert, ohne zu beweisen, welche Konfiguration besser ist.
Kernaussagen
- Brier- und Log-Scores sind geeignete Bewertungsregeln, doch der Log-Score bestraft selbstsichere Fehler stärker.
- Kalibrierung misst, ob angegebene Wahrscheinlichkeiten mit den beobachteten Häufigkeiten übereinstimmen; die Schärfe muss zusammen mit der Kalibrierung bewertet werden.
- Kalibrierungstransformationen sollten anhand von Daten bewertet werden, die nicht zu ihrer Anpassung verwendet wurden.
- Eingefrorene abgerufene Belege machen Vergleiche zwischen Pipeline-Konfigurationen besser reproduzierbar.
- Werkzeug-Proxys und Prüfungen auf Einschleusungsversuche können Risiken verringern, garantieren aber keine Sicherheit.
- Prognosen, die erst nach Auflösung der Ergebnisse aufgezeichnet werden, können keine Vorhersagefähigkeit messen.

# Everything the chapter has built so far produces probabilities that nobody has checked. This
# notebook is the machinery for checking them, and the controls that have to be in place before
# anyone acts on one: proper scoring rules, reliability diagrams, calibration fitting done
# without cheating, a proxy that enforces tool policy, and a scan for text written to hijack
# the agent reading it.
#
# **Every probability on this page was chosen after its question had resolved.** They are
# committed inputs that exist to make the arithmetic reproducible and identical on every
# machine. That means no score, bin, transform or comparison below measures how good any
# forecaster is: the demonstration is of the method, and a real evaluation needs forecasts
# recorded before their questions resolved. Nothing else in this notebook repeats that caveat;
# it applies to every number in it.
#
# **Learning Objectives**:
# - Score a set of probability forecasts four ways, and say what each measure rewards and what
# it is blind to
# - Read a reliability diagram to find where a forecaster is over- or under-confident, rather
# than only how far off it is on average
# - Fit a calibration transform without scoring it on the rows it was fitted to, and see what
# the difference is worth
# - Enforce read-only, source and rate policy in a proxy between the agent and its tools
# - Scan untrusted text for injection payloads and refuse them, without treating the scan as a
# defence on its own
#
# **Book Reference**: Chapter 24, Section 24.7 (Multi-agent forecasting systems), Section 24.9
# (Preparing for production) and Section 24.10 (Security and governance)
#
# **Prerequisites**: [`05_aggregation_math`](05_aggregation_math.ipynb) (scoring and
# calibration arithmetic), [`08_forecasting_pipeline`](08_forecasting_pipeline.ipynb) (the
# pipeline being evaluated).

# ## Four Ways to Score a Probability
#
# A probability forecast cannot be right or wrong, so it is scored rather than checked. Four
# measures, each answering a different question:
#
# **Brier score** is the mean squared distance between the forecast and the outcome, counting
# the outcome as one or zero. It is a **proper scoring rule**: it is minimized by stating what
# you actually believe, so no strategy of hedging or exaggerating improves it. Lower is better.
#
# **Log score** is also proper, and it punishes confident errors far harder: a forecast of
# certainty against an outcome that happens is unbounded, where Brier caps at one. Which of
# the two to report follows from how much a confident error costs in the application.
#
# **Expected calibration error** asks whether the numbers mean what they say. Group the
# forecasts by the probability stated and compare each group's average forecast against how
# often those events happened; the weighted average of those gaps is the error. Lower is
# better, and it can be driven to zero by forecasting the base rate every time.
#
# **Sharpness** is the average distance from even odds, and it is the only one of the four
# that is not a quality on its own. Forecasting certainty every time maximizes it. It exists to
# be read against calibration: of two forecasters equally calibrated, the sharper one is more
# useful, and a sharp forecaster who is not calibrated is confidently wrong.
# %%

# ## Reliability: Where the Miscalibration Is
#
# A single calibration number says how far off a forecaster is on average and not where. A
# **reliability diagram** answers the second question: group the forecasts into bins by the
# probability stated, and plot how often the events in each bin actually happened. A
# well-calibrated forecaster's bins sit on the diagonal - the ones called seventy percent come
# true about seventy percent of the time. Bins above the diagonal are under-confidence and bins
# below it are over-confidence, and a forecaster can be one at the low end and the other at the
# high end, which is exactly what a summary number hides.
#
# Bin count is the choice that decides what the diagram shows. Too few and every bin averages
# away the pattern; too many and each bin holds one or two questions and the plot is noise.
# Ten questions is far too few for either to work, which is why every bin here carries its
# count on the chart: the sample size is the thing the reader most needs to see.

# ## Fitting a Calibration Transform, Twice
#
# `fit_extremization_exponent` grid-searches the log-odds exponent that minimizes Brier score,
# as in [`05_aggregation_math`](05_aggregation_math.ipynb). Run it on all ten rows and it
# reports an improvement over the same ten rows it chose the exponent from, which is the number
# almost every calibration claim quietly is.
#
# A grid search reports where it stopped, and where it stopped is not always where the score
# bottoms out. If the minimum lies outside the range searched, the returned exponent is the end
# of the range: a clamp reported as an optimum. `at_search_boundary` is what tells the two
# apart, and it has to be read before the exponent is.

print(f"\nIn-sample Brier after the transform: {in_sample_brier:.4f} (from {model_brier:.4f})")
# %% [markdown]
# The search stops at the low end of its range. These probabilities are more extreme than their
# outcomes support, and the panel wants more compression than an exponent of one half delivers,
# so the reported figure is where the search ran out rather than where the score is lowest.
# Widening the range would move it further down and keep going.
#
# The clamp is not a bug in the search: a transform that compresses without limit ends at the
# base rate, which scores well and forecasts nothing. It is a finding about the inputs, and it
# is the reason the exponent has to be read alongside the range it was found in.
# %% [markdown]
# ## The Same Fit, Scored Honestly
#
# Ten questions cannot be split into a training panel and a test panel and leave anything to
# fit on, so the alternative is to fit ten times. Each row is transformed by an exponent chosen
# from the other nine, which means the row's own outcome never influenced the exponent applied
# to it. That is **leave-one-out** cross-validation, and at this sample size it is the only
# available way to score a fitted transform without scoring it on itself.
#
# The spread of the ten fitted exponents is worth as much as the score. A stable exponent means
# the panel agrees about the correction; exponents that swing with the row that was removed
# mean the fit is chasing individual questions and will not carry to new ones.

# The two Brier scores are identical here, and the reason is the clamp rather than the

# transformed by the same exponent whether or not its own outcome was in the fit, and there is
# nothing for the two numbers to differ by.
#
# That is what a boundary fit costs an evaluation: the comparison that was supposed to say how
# much fitting on the scored rows is worth cannot say anything, because the fit never had room
# to overfit. On a panel where the minimum falls inside the range, the in-sample score is the
# better of the two and the gap between them is what the fitting bought itself.

# three probabilities, one agent's probability on its own, and the ensemble after the

# ## Replay Against Frozen Evidence
#
# Every stage of this chapter's pipeline has two sources of variation: what the search API
# returned, and what the model did with it. Comparing two configurations without separating
# them compares both at once, and the search index moves between runs.
#
# Freezing the evidence removes one of them. The execution log that
# [`08_forecasting_pipeline`](08_forecasting_pipeline.ipynb) saves holds every query and every
# document a run retrieved, so a search client that replays from it hands a second run exactly
# the evidence the first one saw. Whatever then differs is the model, the prompt, or the
# aggregation, and the difference is attributable. It also makes the comparison repeatable
# after the documents have gone.
#
# What the frozen replay cannot do is tell you whether the second configuration is better. It
# holds the evidence fixed, not the truth: scoring still needs resolved questions and forecasts
# recorded before they resolved.
# %% [markdown]
# ## Key Takeaways
#
# 1. **A probability is scored, not checked.** Brier and log score both reward being right and
# being right confidently, and they disagree about how much: log score punishes a confident
# error without bound, Brier does not. Which one to report follows from how expensive a
# confident error is in the application.
# 2. **Calibration and sharpness pull against each other, and only one of them is free.**
# Anyone can be perfectly calibrated by forecasting the base rate every time, and anyone can
# be maximally sharp by forecasting zero or one. The pair has to be read together, and
# sharpness on its own is not a quality to maximize.
# 3. **A transform fitted on the rows it is scored on reports the improvement it was
# constructed to produce.** The in-sample and leave-one-out numbers here differ for that
# reason and for no other.
# 4. **Enforce tool policy in a proxy, fail closed.** An allowlist that denies what it has not
# been told about still holds when a tool nobody thought of appears; a blocklist does not.
# 5. **Input scanning is a filter, not a defence.** It catches the payloads it has patterns
# for. The reason to run it anyway is that it is cheap and independent of the Warden, and a
# payload has to get past both.
# 6. **Freeze the evidence before comparing configurations**, or the comparison includes
# whatever the search index did that day.
#
# **Known limitations of what is built here.** Every probability on this page was chosen after
# its question resolved, so no number here estimates accuracy or calibration. Ten questions
# would be too few to estimate them from even if the forecasts had been genuine. The injection
# patterns are a handful of regular expressions against a threat that adapts, and the Warden
# enforces the policies it is given and nothing about whether they are the right ones.
#
# **Optional next**: [`10_framework_comparison`](10_framework_comparison.ipynb) expresses the
# same pipeline in three agent frameworks.
#
# **Book**: Section 24.9 covers production reliability, replay and contamination control, and
# section 24.10 the full OWASP threat model for LLM agents.
