| """LightGBM tuning fairness probe (Phase 2.5). |
| |
| Reviewer R1 (W1.5 / Q1.3) and R2 (W2.3) ask whether the headline finding |
| "classical models lead long-horizon T1 forecasting" survives if LightGBM |
| is tuned rather than run at library defaults. The canonical Table 6 |
| LightGBM row remains at library defaults per the project's no-tuning |
| rule (every method in the benchmark panel uses library defaults; see |
| project memory `feedback_use_library_defaults.md`). This probe is |
| **outside the panel** -- it is a one-time secondary analysis whose only |
| purpose is to answer the reviewers' fairness question: does a modest |
| hyperparameter sweep change the leaderboard? |
| |
| Design: a small 3 x 3 x 2 = 18-cell grid |
| |
| n_estimators ∈ {100, 500, 1000} |
| max_depth ∈ {6, 10, 20} |
| learning_rate ∈ {0.01, 0.1} |
| |
| All other LightGBM settings are kept at library defaults. The grid is |
| run on T1 at the panel's headline T1 horizon (read from |
| ``experiments.panel``). For every cell we save predictions under a |
| distinct tag (so the probe never overwrites the canonical run) and |
| record the primary T1 metric with cluster-bootstrap CIs. The summary |
| report names the best cell, the default-config cell, and the relative |
| delta -- this is what the camera-ready text quotes back when explaining |
| the LightGBM-vs-LLM contrast. |
| |
| Per-launch authorisation: this is CPU-only and 18 fits on T1's full |
| panel (~5M rows). Wall-clock estimate is several hours on the shared |
| host; the user must authorise the launch. |
