From b8e80af24c6edd897553a428e1b5dbab35d7ff34 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Roberto Villegas-Diaz Date: Fri, 22 Aug 2025 16:04:36 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Replace test for Apple Mx processors without assumptions of tolerance, this test is based on observed behaviour for the stats::cor and stats::cor.test functions, where the approximation for the correlation for some vectors is nearly 1, resulting in 1 - cor(x, y) > 0, when the expected value should be 0. For example, when x = y = c(0.0, 3.0, 7.0) --- tests/testthat/test-smk-corTestDS.R | 11 ++++++----- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/tests/testthat/test-smk-corTestDS.R b/tests/testthat/test-smk-corTestDS.R index cacd0a96..55ff26de 100644 --- a/tests/testthat/test-smk-corTestDS.R +++ b/tests/testthat/test-smk-corTestDS.R @@ -201,7 +201,8 @@ test_that("simple corTestDS, some, with na, pearson", { # extract information from the results t_stat <- res$`Correlation test`$statistic[[1]] - df <- res$`Number of pairwise complete cases` + # degrees of freedom + df <- res$`Number of pairwise complete cases` - 2 # re-calculate the value for r (correlation) ## t_stat <- sqrt(df) * r / sqrt(1 - r^2) # Equation 1 ## calculate intermediate coefficient, derived from Equation 1 @@ -212,10 +213,10 @@ test_that("simple corTestDS, some, with na, pearson", { # if testing on Apple M1: due to numeric precision if (getElement(Sys.info(), "sysname") == "Darwin" && getElement(R.version, "arch") == "aarch64") { - # lower tolerance, expect failure, due to numeric precision - expect_error(expect_equal(r, 1L, tolerance = 1E-16)) - # higher tolerance, expect success - expect_equal(r, 1L, tolerance = 1E-8) + # t-stat should be a very large value, because r ~ 1, but not exactly 1 + expect_false(is.infinite(t_stat)) + # r ~ 1 + expect_false(is.nan(r)) } else { # other architectures expect_true(is.infinite(t_stat))
