Reference issue
Closes gh-21949
What does this implement/fix?
gh-21949 reported an xslow fit test failure.
We changed from passing an integer seed toWe already adjusted tests after that (gh-21822), so this is something different.differential_evolution
viarng
instead ofrandom_state
, so it makes sense that we'd get some change in this test.Additional information
This generic test is performed for all distributions, but since our optimization techniques do not guarantee convergence to the global optimum for all possible problems, some tests fail. Sometimes we'll skip the generic test for a distribution and replace it with another one that is slightly easier for the optimizer to solve, e.g.
In this case, I think it's safe to just skip the test.
beta
has always had trouble, so it's not so surprising thatrdist
(symmetric beta) has trouble, andbeta
has a distribution-specific test, so I don't know that we need a separate one for a special case distribution.
