Description
Describe the bug
When running Fisher's Randomization Test multiple times using the same data and same parameters, the significance results vary between runs. This happens even when the random seed is fixed and also when just a single thread is used.
To Reproduce
Run ranx.compare(qrels, runs, metrics=["precision@1", "recall@20"], stat_test="fisher", max_p=0.05, n_permutations=1000, make_comparable=True, threads=1, random_seed=0)
.
qrels
has a few thousand entries, each element in runs
about a thousand entries.
When running compare()
multiple times, the significance assessments are slightly different between runs. On my data, this can be observed after three to five compare()
runs.
Expected behavior
I expect multiple compare()
runs on the same data and with the same parameters to always show the exact same significance results.
