Bug#944054: statsmodels: ignored test failures on at least ppc64el

2019-11-06 Thread Rebecca N. Palmer

Control: severity -1 important
(mostly for ignoring failures, not the actual ones that happened)

After further testing, it looks like 
base.tests.test_penalized.TestPenalizedPoissonOraclePenalized2* is on a 
convergence edge: if the random seed isn't fixed, it sometimes finds all 
4 and sometimes 3 on both amd64 and qemu-ppc64el.


Hence, I intend to mark this xfail.

The test failures are:

armhf: 86, probably all #924036

i386: 1, TestDFM_Approx.test_smoothed_measurement_disturbance out of 
tolerance: suspect rounding error (x87 extra precision).


arm64, ppc64el, s390x: the same 3, 
base.tests.test_penalized.TestPenalizedPoissonOraclePenalized2*: looks 
like a "find which input variables do something" test is finding 3 when 
there are 4.  This is the kind of task where too-weak real signals can 
legitimately be missed in the noise, but the test input doesn't seem 
that close to this edge: on amd64 it works for mod.pen_weight *= 
approximately 3 to 11 (the test uses 10).  There are also convergence 
warnings.


This may need discussion with upstream.

Package: python3-statsmodels
Version: 0.10.1-1
Control: fixed -1 0.9.0-6
Severity: serious

While making statsmodels clean up after its tests, I accidentally also 
made it ignore failed tests.


Some tests did fail on at least ppc64el and s390x; I don't yet know if 
these are actually a serious problem.
