@yuvi-mittal
Hey, the native file should be migrated as well right?

yuvimittal · 2025-02-02T16:59:57Z

@Neerajpathak07 , seems like just the benchmarks .

Neerajpathak07 · 2025-02-02T17:14:59Z

Ohh just had a look at the package and apparently there are no C implementations for it so in turn there is no native file got it!
But wouldn't it be right that when we start implementing the packages serial wise we can refactor the the logic for both the benchmark files in one single go!!.
Increases the clarity of the PR and might help while reviewing it.
What's your opinion on this?

yuvimittal · 2025-02-03T07:35:54Z

There C implementation is not done yet , so some of them doesnt have the native benchmarks .

lib/node_modules/@stdlib/stats/base/dists/kumaraswamy/mode/benchmark/benchmark.js

Neerajpathak07 · 2025-02-03T07:51:20Z

And primarily you have test failures for stats/base/dists/kumaraswamy/median/test/test.native this file solely.
So, might be something to do with the main.js implementations or the tol is pretty low for this package.
Let me take a look at the specific package and get back to you

yuvimittal · 2025-02-03T07:56:12Z

i didnt edit stats/base/dists/kumaraswamy/median/test/test.native , But i will check and resolve the error

Neerajpathak07 · 2025-02-03T08:08:53Z

i didnt edit stats/base/dists/kumaraswamy/median/test/test.native , But i will check and resolve the error

Alright I understood where the problem lies, so the stats/base/dists/kumaraswamy/median/test/test.native.js isn't correct with respect to test.js as multiple test cases are missing from native version which are present in test.js.
So, the test.native.js will be needing a little refactoring before we can proceed with this.

Neerajpathak07 · 2025-02-03T08:11:46Z

For reference take a look at test.js and test.native.js and comapre between the two.

Neerajpathak07 · 2025-02-03T08:16:09Z

@kgryte What are your views on this?
Like I do the think there was something wrong in the native implementation for the kumaraswamy/median package as majority of the test cases are failing due to extremely low tolerance.

yuvimittal · 2025-02-03T10:31:54Z

Both test.js and test.native.js need to be refactored . I will open an issue for this and raise a separate PR . But how did it get merged in the first place ?

Neerajpathak07 · 2025-02-03T13:19:25Z

You can draft this PR for the time being

Like I do the think there was something wrong in the native implementation for the kumaraswamy.median package as majority of the test cases are failing due to extremely low tolerance.

Great catch! This is the related PR: stdlib-js/stdlib#4020.

I just checked:

This line:

stdlib/lib/node_modules/@stdlib/stats/base/dists/kumaraswamy/median/src/main.c

Line 42 in 367ec2c

return 1.0 - stdlib_base_pow( 0.5, 1.0 / b );

should be:

return stdlib_base_pow( 1.0 - stdlib_base_pow( 2.0, -1.0 / b ), 1.0 / a );

The original line is only correct when a = 1.0, but it should be modified to account for any positive value of a.

Just checked it locally too, this fix also makes all native tests pass. A PR addressing this would be a great addition!

Yeah, and additionally we do need to add a few test cases to implicitly test a few technicalities what do you say?

anandkaranubc · 2025-02-03T18:50:16Z

Do you have any in mind?

I think test.native.js (both test files, actually) are quite exhaustive in checking when the function returns NaN and also in validating against 1000 Julia fixtures.

Yeah, that's correct I was thinking of testing if the function returns NaN on passing different values as parameters in it.
To have a broader idea on how it explicitly handles it.

Even after changing the test cases aren't still passing in my system . I will have to go through the test cases once . Are you sure it is passing in locally in your system? @anandkaranubc

Once you change anything in the C implementation side, you will have to build the native addon again

We have moved to using var uniform = require( '@stdlib/random/array/uniform' ); instead of var uniform = require( '@stdlib/random/base/uniform' ); to directly draw arrays filled with numbers from the desired distribution. Since this PR follows our older convention and now has merge conflicts, I am going to close it. Thanks for your contribution either way, it is appreciated!
