65

+
69
+ ## The Problem: Future Data in Your Past Features
70
+
71
+ In time-series machine learning, look-ahead bias (also called *data leakage* or *future leakage*) occurs when a feature computed for timestamp `t` inadvertently uses data from timestamps `t+1`, `t+2`, … `t+n`.
72
+
73
+ This is devastatingly easy to introduce:
74
+
75
+ ```python
76
+ # BUG: center=True means the window is centred — it looks forward AND backward
77
+ df["roll_mean"] = df["price"].rolling(window=5, center=True).mean()
78
+
79
+ # BUG: shift(-1) reads the NEXT row's value
80
+ df["next_return"] = df["return"].shift(-1)
81
+
82
+ # BUG: global z-score uses future data to compute mean/std
83
+ df["znorm"] = (df["price"] - df["price"].mean()) / df["price"].std()
84
+ ```
85
+
86
+ None of these will raise an error.
87
+ Your tests will pass.
88
+ Your backtests will look amazing.
89
+ **And then reality hits.**

93
+ ## How It Works: The Temporal Perturbation Test
94
+
95
+ ```
96
+ Timeline: ──────────────────────────────────────────────────▶
97
+ T (midpoint)
98
+

100
+
101
+ Step 1: Run pipeline on original data
102
+ baseline_features = pipeline(df)
103
+
104
+ Step 2: MUTATE the future
105
+ df_perturbed[t > T] = 🔥 (noise / sign flip / NaN)
106
+
107
+ Step 3: Re-run pipeline on perturbed data
108
+ perturbed_features = pipeline(df_perturbed)
109
+
110
+ Step 4: Compare features for PAST rows only (t ≤ T)
111
+ If baseline_features[t≤T] ≠ perturbed_features[t≤T]
112
+ then the past features DEPEND on future data → LEAK! 🚨
113
+ ```
114
+
115
+ The key insight: **if your past features are truly causal, mutating the future should not change them.** If they change, future data crept in.

218
+ ## API Reference
219
+
220
+ ### `TemporalAudit`
221
+
222
+ ```python
223
+ TemporalAudit(
224
+ mode: Literal["noise", "sign_flip", "nullify"] = "noise",
225
+ random_seed: int = 42,
226
+ delta_threshold: float = 1e-8,
227
+ leakage_threshold: float = 0.0,
228
+ ignore_columns: list[str] | None = None,
229
+ )
230
+ ```
231
+
232
+ | Parameter | Description |
233
+ |---|---|
234
+ | `mode` | Perturbation strategy: **noise** adds Gaussian noise, **sign_flip** multiplies by -1, **nullify** sets NaN |
235
+ | `random_seed` | Integer seed — fully deterministic, reproducible across runs |
236
+ | `delta_threshold` | Minimum cell-level change to count as "different" (suppresses float noise) |
237
+ | `leakage_threshold` | If `leakage_score > leakage_threshold`, raise `TemporalLeakageError`. Set to `1.1` to always return report |
238
+ | `ignore_columns` | List of output columns to skip during comparison |
239
+
240
+ ### `AuditReport`
241
+
242
+ ```python
243
+ @dataclass
244
+ class AuditReport:
245
+ leakage_score: float # 0.0 = clean, 1.0 = fully compromised
246
+ breached_columns: list[ColumnLeakMeta]
247
+ clean_columns: list[str]
248
+ perturbation_mode: str
249
+ evaluation_time: Any
250
+ random_seed: int
251
+ provenance_hints: dict[str, str]
252
+
253
+ def to_html(self) -> str: ... # standalone HTML report
254
+ ```
255
+
256
+ ### `ColumnLeakMeta`
257
+
258
+ ```python
259
+ @dataclass(frozen=True)
260
+ class ColumnLeakMeta:
261
+ column_name: str
262
+ first_leaky_timestamp: Any
263
+ mean_absolute_delta: float
264
+ max_delta: float
265
+ pct_rows_changed: float
266
+ effect_size: float # normalised, 0–1
267
+ severity: str # LOW | MEDIUM | HIGH | CRITICAL
268
+ ```
269
+
270
+ ### Severity Classification
271
+
272
+ | Severity | Effect Size |
273
+ |---|---|
274
+ | 🟦 LOW | `effect_size < 0.15` |
275
+ | 🟨 MEDIUM | `0.15 ≤ effect_size < 0.40` |
276
+ | 🟧 HIGH | `0.40 ≤ effect_size < 0.75` |
277
+ | 🟥 CRITICAL | `effect_size ≥ 0.75` |
278
+
279
+ ---
280
+
281
+ ## Perturbation Modes
282
+
283
+ ```
284
+ ┌────────────────┬──────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
285
+ │ Mode │ What it does to future rows │
286
+ ├────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
287
+ │ noise │ Adds Gaussian noise: μ=0, σ=2×column_std │
288
+ │ sign_flip │ Multiplies all numeric values by −1 │
289
+ │ nullify │ Replaces all values with NaN / null │
290
+ └────────────────┴──────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
291
+ ```
292
+
293
+ Use **nullify** for the strictest test.
294
+ Use **noise** for pipelines that handle NaN gracefully (e.g., imputers).
295
+ Use **sign_flip** to test pipelines sensitive to sign changes (e.g., momentum factors).
296
+
297
+ ---
298
+
299
+ ## Polars Support
300
+
301
+ ```python
302
+ import polars as pl
303
+ from temporal_leaks import TemporalAudit
304
+
305
+ df = pl.DataFrame({"ts": range(200), "value": [float(i) for i in range(200)]})
306
+
307
+ auditor = TemporalAudit(mode="nullify", random_seed=42)
308
+ report = auditor.check(df, "ts", my_polars_pipeline)
309
+ ```
310
+
311
+ `temporal-leaks` handles Polars DataFrames transparently — pass them in, get results back in the same type.
312
+
313
+ ---
314
+
315
+ ## Benchmarks
316
+
317
+ | Dataset | Rows | Columns | Backend | Mode | Time |
318
+ |---|---|---|---|---|---|
319
+ | Synthetic prices | 1,000,000 | 5 | Polars | nullify | ~1.1 s |
320
+ | Synthetic prices | 10,000,000 | 5 | Polars | nullify | ~3.2 s |
321
+ | Equity features | 500,000 | 20 | Pandas | noise | ~2.8 s |
322
+
323
+ > Benchmarks run on Apple M2 Pro, 16 GB RAM. Polars backend strongly recommended for large frames.
324
+

+ f.write(report.to_html())
161
+ ```
162
+
163
+ The HTML report includes:
164
+ - Leakage score with a visual progress bar
165
+ - Per-column severity badges (LOW / MEDIUM / HIGH / CRITICAL)
166
+ - Effect size, mean |Δ|, max |Δ|, % rows changed
167
+ - First timestamp where each leak was observed
168
+ - Provenance hints describing likely causes

+ ## API Reference
173
+
174
+ ### `TemporalAudit`
175
+
176
+ ```python
177
+ TemporalAudit(
178
+ mode: Literal["noise", "sign_flip", "nullify"] = "noise",
179
+ random_seed: int = 42,
180
+ delta_threshold: float = 1e-8,
181
+ leakage_threshold: float = 0.0,
182
+ ignore_columns: list[str] | None = None,
183
+ )
184
+ ```
185
+
186
+ | Parameter | Description |
187
+ |---|---|
188
+ | `mode` | Perturbation strategy: **noise** adds Gaussian noise, **sign_flip** multiplies by -1, **nullify** sets NaN |
189
+ | `random_seed` | Integer seed — fully deterministic, reproducible across runs |
190
+ | `delta_threshold` | Minimum cell-level change to count as "different" (suppresses float noise) |
191
+ | `leakage_threshold` | If `leakage_score > leakage_threshold`, raise `TemporalLeakageError`. Set to `1.1` to always return report |
192
+ | `ignore_columns` | List of output columns to skip during comparison |
193
+
194
+ ### `AuditReport`
195
+
196
+ ```python
197
+ @dataclass
198
+ class AuditReport:
199
+ leakage_score: float # 0.0 = clean, 1.0 = fully compromised
200
+ breached_columns: list[ColumnLeakMeta]
201
+ clean_columns: list[str]
202
+ perturbation_mode: str
203
+ evaluation_time: Any
204
+ random_seed: int
205
+ provenance_hints: dict[str, str]
206
+
207
+ def to_html(self) -> str: ... # standalone HTML report
208
+ ```
209
+
210
+ ### `ColumnLeakMeta`
211
+
212
+ ```python
213
+ @dataclass(frozen=True)
214
+ class ColumnLeakMeta:
215
+ column_name: str
216
+ first_leaky_timestamp: Any
217
+ mean_absolute_delta: float
218
+ max_delta: float
219
+ pct_rows_changed: float
220
+ effect_size: float # normalised, 0–1
221
+ severity: str # LOW | MEDIUM | HIGH | CRITICAL
222
+ ```
223
+
224
+ ### Severity Classification
225
+
226
+ | Severity | Effect Size |
227
+ |---|---|
228
+ | 🟦 LOW | `effect_size < 0.15` |
229
+ | 🟨 MEDIUM | `0.15 ≤ effect_size < 0.40` |
230
+ | 🟧 HIGH | `0.40 ≤ effect_size < 0.75` |
231
+ | 🟥 CRITICAL | `effect_size ≥ 0.75` |
232
+
233
+ ---
234
+
235
+ ## Perturbation Modes
236
+
237
+ ```
238
+ ┌────────────────┬──────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
239
+ │ Mode │ What it does to future rows │
240
+ ├────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
241
+ │ noise │ Adds Gaussian noise: μ=0, σ=2×column_std │
242
+ │ sign_flip │ Multiplies all numeric values by −1 │
243
+ │ nullify │ Replaces all values with NaN / null │
244
+ └────────────────┴──────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
245
+ ```
246
+
247
+ Use **nullify** for the strictest test.
248
+ Use **noise** for pipelines that handle NaN gracefully (e.g., imputers).
249
+ Use **sign_flip** to test pipelines sensitive to sign changes (e.g., momentum factors).
250
+
251
+ ---
252
+
253
+ ## Polars Support
254
+
255
+ ```python
256
+ import polars as pl
257
+ from temporal_leaks import TemporalAudit
258
+
259
+ df = pl.DataFrame({"ts": range(200), "value": [float(i) for i in range(200)]})
260
+
261
+ auditor = TemporalAudit(mode="nullify", random_seed=42)
262
+ report = auditor.check(df, "ts", my_polars_pipeline)
263
+ ```
264
+
265
+ `temporal-leaks` handles Polars DataFrames transparently — pass them in, get results back in the same type.
266
+
267
+ ---
268
+
269
+ ## Benchmarks
270
+
271
+ | Dataset | Rows | Columns | Backend | Mode | Time |
272
+ |---|---|---|---|---|---|
273
+ | Synthetic prices | 1,000,000 | 5 | Polars | nullify | ~1.1 s |
274
+ | Synthetic prices | 10,000,000 | 5 | Polars | nullify | ~3.2 s |
275
+ | Equity features | 500,000 | 20 | Pandas | noise | ~2.8 s |
276
+
277
+ > Benchmarks run on Apple M2 Pro, 16 GB RAM. Polars backend strongly recommended for large frames.
278
