ASSUMING

View as Markdown

Syntax fragment: ASSUMING <condition>

Description

ASSUMING conditions the in-context examples on a stated future or hypothetical condition.

1PREDICT COUNT(orders.*, 0, 90, days) = 0
2FOR customers.customer_id=42
3ASSUMING customers.plan = "premium"

The condition must have adequate historical representation. An unseen or rare state provides little relevant context and can make the result unstable.

ASSUMING changes the examples presented to the model; it does not estimate a causal treatment effect. Do not interpret the difference between assumed and unassumed predictions as proof that changing the attribute will cause an outcome.

Protect sensitive attributes, test stability across related cohorts and anchor times, and do not use an assumed association as the sole basis for a high-stakes decision.
