New Features and Improvements

Description

ID

Added a Data Split column to the Transaction Data table. It shows whether each transaction is in the training, test, or calibration set.

PFPCS-11142

Combined the Feature Impact charts into one chart. It shows floor, target, and stretch impacts as lines over the transaction count bars.

PFPCS-11111

Added the Mean Estimate, Achieved Percentile, Absolute Error, and Pseudo R² metrics for Floor/Target/Stretch models to the Metrics portlet.

PFPCS-11059

Training outputs of the floor, target, and stretch models are now stored in shared tables, with a model key column that identifies each model.

PFPCS-11020

Added Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) to the Metrics portlet, for the training and test sets.

PFPCS-11004

The Summary of the features portlet now shows the minimum and maximum of each feature, and the cardinality of each categorical feature.

PFPCS-10976

Introduced the training_predictions table to support model training data storage.

PFPCS-10961

Added the Change Overview and Revenue and Profit Comparison charts to the Metrics tab of the Results step.

PFPCS-10954

Model evaluation returns floor, target, and stretch values for Floor/Target/Stretch models, in the API and on the Evaluation tab. The crossing guard keeps the floor and stretch on the correct side of the target.

PFPCS-10944

Floor/Target/Stretch models are trained with EBM quantile regression. Training fails for a price level when its achieved percentile differs from the configured percentile by more than coverage_tolerance.

PFPCS-10943

Added the Strategy Positioning section to the Feature Selection tab. Select the Floor/Target/Stretch strategy and set the Floor, Target, and Stretch percentiles.

PFPCS-10931

Implemented EBM Quantile Regression models to provide interpretable, calibrated pricing corridors within the production environment.

PFPCS-10911

Fixed Issues

Description

ID

The system fails to generate random samples for extended-value classification because the random index incorrectly rounds to a binary value.

PFPCS-11082

The system fails to store or export the learned contribution for null values in numerical features, causing a discrepancy between trained model predictions and evaluation results when null values are encountered.

PFPCS-11034

Model evaluation returns predictions that do not match the training_predictions table for items with high-cardinality categorical features or numerical pairwise interactions.

PFPCS-11033

The feature impact chart tooltip for numerical features fails to display the number of transactions.

PFPCS-10993

The system prevents users from selecting Quantity and Integer field types for the Weight field in the Definition step.

PFPCS-10985

The feature impact chart displays incorrect transaction density and inconsistent binning, causing data to cluster at the extremes rather than reflecting the actual distribution across the model's score bins.
