From 672e3f0e07fd96652df60513873eb4fa437ea263 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Marc-Andr=C3=A9=20Bombeck?= Date: Fri, 26 Jun 2026 09:25:12 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] fix(rollups): stabilise composed regression via centered identities Reformulate composeRegression from the determinant form (n*Sxx - Sx^2) to the mean-centered corrected-sum identities (Sxx = Sxx - Sx^2/n, ...). Algebraically identical to the prior form and to Postgres REGR_* / STDDEV_POP, but it subtracts the x mean at matched scale and avoids the catastrophic cancellation the determinant form suffers on the ~1e10 epoch-day x-axis. Also read the exact stored sum_value accumulator for the Sy term instead of reconstructing it as mean*count, dropping the AVG-to-multiply float residual; fall back to mean*count when the column is null. Composition-only: no migration, no schema change. The WEIGHT live-parity case stays bit-identical at the 1e-9 relative bound. The near-flat DST parity seed improves by ~30x but still exceeds 1e-9, so it remains quarantined with an updated note pointing at a window-local x-rescale as the real fix. --- src/lib/rollups/measurement-read.ts | 73 ++++++++++++++----- ...llup-regression-parity.integration.test.ts | 31 ++++++-- 2 files changed, 78 insertions(+), 26 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/lib/rollups/measurement-read.ts b/src/lib/rollups/measurement-read.ts index 07ed3bbe7..ac2c43d96 100644 --- a/src/lib/rollups/measurement-read.ts +++ b/src/lib/rollups/measurement-read.ts @@ -63,8 +63,19 @@ export interface DailyMeanRow { */ export interface RegressionAccumulators { count: number; - /** Σy = mean·count (the writer stores mean + count; Σy is derived). */ + /** + * Per-bucket mean.
