From 0d3105da0a233f2b061faa04ad60283d8719e626 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Claude Date: Tue, 22 Sep 2026 13:38:34 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] refactor: align JS and C operation order in `stats/base/dists/*` Propagates fix from ef08b9f5 ("refactor: align JS implementation and migrate `hypergeometric/variance` to ULP-based assertions") to sibling packages whose JavaScript implementations evaluate the same formula in a different floating-point operation order than their own C implementations, causing the JS and native builds to disagree in the last bits. In `hypergeometric/mean`, `n * ( K / N )` rounds twice, while the C computes `( n * K ) / N`, a single correctly-rounded division; the product `n * K` is exact below 2^53. The JS differs from the C on 24% of the integer domain by 1 ULP, and the patched form now reproduces the Julia fixture exactly. In `chi/skewness`, the JS round-tripped the variance through `sqrt` and a squaring to recover `sigma2`, perturbing a value it already held exactly. Because the chi variance tends to 0.5, the subsequent `1.0 - ( 2.0*sigma2 )` cancellation amplifies that perturbation, giving a measured maximum error of 838 ULP against 3 ULP for the C ordering. Neither change requires test or fixture updates, and documented values are unaffected.

That slack existed only to accommodate the JS implementation's operation order, which rounded twice where the C performed a single correctly rounded division. With the two implementations aligned in 0d3105da0, the JS build reproduces the Julia fixture exactly, so the bound is tightened to 0 to match the native test and lock in the alignment. Verified as a real guard: at 0 ULP the previous arrangement fails 20 of 100 fixture cases and the current one passes all 100. The bound is deterministic across platforms; the computation is an integer product and a single IEEE-754 division, with no transcendental functions involved.
