Dataset Shift in Machine Learning

Edited by Joaquin Quiñonero-Candela, Masashi Sugiyama, Anton Schwaighofer and Neil D. Lawrence

Dataset shift is a common problem in predictive modeling that occurs when the joint distribution of inputs and outputs differs between training and test stages. Covariate shift, a particular case of dataset shift, occurs when only the input distribution changes. Dataset shift is present in most practical applications, for reasons ranging from the bias introduced by experimental design to the irreproducibility of the testing conditions at training time.
