Backward Compatibility

Important:

API compatibility: Old code works without changes
Backward compatible parameters: use_ensemble=False for old behavior
Breaking change: New fields in dataclass (uncertainty, prediction_time_ms)

Migration example:

# Old code (still works)
model = LatencyPredictor()
model.fit(X_train, y_train)
pred = model.predict(X_test)  # uses ensemble by default now

# Explicit control
model.predict(X_test, use_ensemble=False)  # single model
model.predict(X_test, use_ensemble=True)   # ensemble (default)

Testing

Unit Tests (recommended to add)

def test_latency_predictor_ensemble():
    model = LatencyPredictor(n_estimators=10)
    X = np.random.randn(100, 10)
    y = np.random.randn(100) * 10 + 50

    model.fit(X, y, use_ensemble=True)
    metrics = model.evaluate(X, y, use_ensemble=True)

    assert metrics['r2_score'] > 0.8
    assert metrics['mae'] < 5.0

def test_jitter_predictor_ensemble():
    model = JitterPredictor(n_estimators=10)
    X = np.random.randn(100, 10)
    y = np.random.randn(100) * 2 + 5

    model.fit(X, y, use_ensemble=True)
    metrics = model.evaluate(X, y)

    assert metrics['r2_score'] > 0.8
