Defines the complete schema structure for a model’s input data. ModelSchema contains the specification of all columns that a model expects to receive, including their data types, constraints, and metadata. This schema is used by Fiddler for data validation, monitoring, and analysis purposes. The schema acts as a contract between your model and Fiddler, ensuring that incoming data conforms to expected formats and enabling proper drift detection, data quality monitoring, and other features.

​
Examples

Creating a model schema: 
schema = ModelSchema(
    columns=[
        Column(name="age", data_type=DataType.INTEGER, min=0, max=120),
        Column(name="income", data_type=DataType.FLOAT, min=0),
        Column(name="category", data_type=DataType.CATEGORY,

        categories=["A", "B", "C"])
    ]
)
Accessing columns by name: 
age_column = schema["age"]
print(age_column.data_type)
Adding a new column: 
new_column = Column(name="score", data_type=DataType.FLOAT)
schema["score"] = new_column
Removing a column: 
del schema["age"]
