""" ======================================================================== Runtime vs. Classifier Performance Trade-offs ======================================================================== This example benchmarks execution time (fit time) against downstream ROC-AUC and feature selection sparsity across different preprocessing strategies on a noisy dataset. While unconstrained continuous models (like baseline Logistic Regression) fit nearly instantly, they retain all noise features and risk overfitting. Conversely, methods like ``CalfCV`` execute an internal combinatorial grid search to automatically prune noise, trading modest additional fit time for optimal generalization and extreme model sparsity.

Unconstrained Baseline Speed vs. Overfitting: # Baseline models fit almost instantaneously (<0.01s), but process all 50 features, # leaving the downstream model exposed to noise overfitting. # # 2. Automated Hyperparameter Tuning Overhead: # `CalfCV` incurs higher fit time because it executes an internal cross-validation loop # to evaluate multiple candidate weight grids and AUC tolerances. However, it completely # automates parameter selection while achieving peak ROC-AUC and discarding pure noise columns.
