Detect and Fix Compliance Issues

Step 3 of 4 in Assess and Verify Model Quality

When you collect metric data, the Metrics Dashboard runs the MAB and high-integrity Model Advisor checks in the background. The Modeling Guideline Compliance section of the dashboard provides the percentages of checks that pass and a count of check warnings and errors. You can interactively investigate these fixes by toggling between the dashboard and your model.

Explore Compliance Results in the Dashboard

  1. In the Metrics Dashboard, locate the Modeling Guideline Compliance section. This section displays the percentage of high-integrity and MAB compliance checks that pass on all systems. The bar charts show the number of issues reported by the checks in each check group.
