Introduction
The introduction discusses the challenges of deploying machine learning models in clinical settings, particularly the issue of model drift due to dynamic clinical environments. It highlights the limitations of centralized monitoring systems and the potential of agent-based systems for localized drift detection.
Materials and Methods
This section outlines the design of the agent-based drift monitoring framework, detailing the conceptual design of monitoring agents and the simulation setup for output drift detection.
Results
Presents the findings from the simulation, showing that multi-center monitoring schemes significantly outperform centralized monitoring, with specific improvements in F1-scores for drift detection and severity classification.

![Initialization: A global reference distribution Pglobal is constructed from the model's output probabilities on a representative evaluation dataset. This distribution serves as the initial reference for all data centers. ─ Histogram-based Distribution Estimation: Both the global reference and the empirical data observed at the center are transformed into discrete probability distributions using histograms with a fixed number of bins K over a predefined range (i.e, [0,1]). This discretization facilitates distribution comparison using non-parametric statistical tests. ─ Progressive Blending of References: As more data becomes available from a specific center, the method constructs an empirical distribution Pcenter from recent model output probabilities. A blended reference distribution Pref is then computed as a convex combination of the global and center-specific distributions:](https://pdfdigest.com/wp-content/uploads/nala/output/paper_IbxRxfmk18vyrr-9_figure_02.png)
