A new paper published on arXiv explores the economic and statistical considerations for organizations deciding whether to switch from an incumbent machine learning model to a challenger model when new data sources become available. The research proposes a framework that links learning-curve dynamics with model-switching economics, suggesting that the optimal time to train and evaluate a challenger model scales with the data collection horizon and learning-curve shape. The study also introduces a sequential evaluation algorithm that aims to achieve near-oracle performance, even without prior knowledge of the learning curve, and has been tested in a real-world credit-scoring scenario.
