How deeply does Machine Learning System Design cover correlation matrix?

Explains plotting and comparing matrices with an alarm threshold, but does not derive correlation calculations.

Correlation matrix

As explained in Machine Learning System Design

A correlation matrix is a table whose entries quantify pairwise statistical association between variables.

A correlation matrix is a table whose entries quantify pairwise statistical association between variables. In feature monitoring, it provides a compact way to spot abnormal relationships in incoming data. section 14.5.1

A practical monitoring workflow uses it to:

Plot correlations between features for a current monitoring window. section 14.5.1
Compare the new plot with a comparison plot to identify changes in relationships. section 14.5.1
Trigger an alarm when comparison residuals exceed an absolute threshold of 0.15. section 14.5.1

Monitoring feature relationships

A retail forecasting pipeline plots the correlation matrix between features and compares successive plots. A substantial difference becomes an early warning that the input data has changed. section 14.5.1
