CI tests

[brash6]

In this PR :

• tolerance thresholds for estimation exactness tests are increased
• Ci is tested on the develop branch
• further bugs might be solved here

[houssamzenati]

Thank you for this PR @brash6 ! As for some of the warnings that persist in both CIs that still have issues due to the test, I see as well that some operations

divide by zero encountered in divide
    np.sum(t * (1 - p_xm) / (p_xm * (1 - p_x)))

I don't know if it is a big deal or if we should address it so as to close the issue #48 as well.

Do we know so far why we obtain sometimes NaN as outputs in the test test_total_is_direct_plus_indirect?

Thank you again for your time and for this work!

• Failing tests due to tolerance thresholds are solved
• The 'DataFrame' object has no attribute 'iteritems' error is addressed by adding this line pd.DataFrame.iteritems = pd.DataFrame.items in the r_dependency_required decorator. Hence the pandas version is no longer fixed in the setup file @bthirion

The last failing test is this one due to division by zero as @houssamzenati mentioned earlier :

--test_total_is_direct_plus_indirect[mediation_ipw_forest_cf-dict_param2] --

effects_chap = (nan, nan, 1.2194361538090226, nan, nan)

    def test_total_is_direct_plus_indirect(effects_chap):
        if not np.isnan(effects_chap[1]):
            assert effects_chap[0] == pytest.approx(
                effects_chap[1] + effects_chap[4])
        if not np.isnan(effects_chap[2]):
>           assert effects_chap[0] == pytest.approx(
                effects_chap[2] + effects_chap[3])
E           assert nan == nan ± ???
E             
E             comparison failed
E             Obtained: nan
E             Expected: nan ± ???

As discussed last Friday, is it ok for you to solve it in this PR ? @judithabk6

Great! Thanks a lot. Judith if needed I will have time Thursday to work on this issue.

[judithabk6]

yes, on it! so working on clipping for this.

[judithabk6]

I have just pushed clipping. It seems to fix tests.

I have run some experiments to check the impact. Here are some plots of the estimation without clipping (in absciss), and the version with 1e-6 clipping in ordinate for all variations, for the indirect effect

I think it is ok, wdyt @bthirion? Also there is no clipping for DML, if I remember correctly, it failed from time to time for the same reason (division by 0) with forests, I add clipping right?

[bthirion]

I think it is OK. Thx ! For DML: I would add clipping for consistency.

[bthirion]

You need to catch the error for the CI-without-R

[brash6]

All checks have passed, can we merge this PR ? @bthirion @judithabk6 @houssamzenati @zbakhm

[bthirion]

Hi, I have left a couple of comments. If you don't want to address it here, simply open a new issue. Best,

[brash6]

• mediation_DML is renamed to mediation_dml
• When R dependancies are not installed, a test checks that the DependencyNotInstalledError is raised, the test of the corresponding estimator is then skipped

TODO :

• @zbakhm is going to add the code coverage workflow and badge in this PR
• I am going to start the documentation in another PR

FYI @bthirion @judithabk6 @houssamzenati

[zbakhm]

For code coverage, I need to add the repository to my Codecov account, and set the Codecov token in the GitHub repository secrets via the repository settings. But the problem is that I don't have access to the repository in Codecov, or to the repository settings.

@judithabk6 Can you please create a Codecov account and set the Codecov token in the GitHub repository secrets? This way I can configure the CI using the Codecov token.

[judithabk6]

@zbakhm done (I think). Let me know if that doesn't work. Thanks :)

[bthirion]

Do you know why the CI is failing ?

[zbakhm]

The CI is failing because I am testing the code coverage feature, and it is giving errors.

@judithabk6 I think we have to make a call together to configure the code coverage feature, because I don't have access to the repo parameters on Github and to the repo page on Codecov.

[codecov-commenter]

Welcome to Codecov :tada:

Once you merge this PR into your default branch, you're all set! Codecov will compare coverage reports and display results in all future pull requests.

Thanks for integrating Codecov - We've got you covered :open_umbrella:

[bthirion]

LGTM !

[brash6]

Apparently the code coverage badge is working with codecov Can we merge this PR now ? @zbakhm @bthirion @judithabk6 @houssamzenati
