Add confidence intervals to main code#130
Conversation
New pure-Python module providing percentile bootstrap CI primitives: bootstrap_resample, bootstrap_ci, assign_bootstrap_cis helper, plus a SHA-stable run_seed for cross-process-deterministic per-run seeding. Constants N_BOOT=2000, ALPHA=0.05, BASE_SEED=42. No eva imports — safe to use from anywhere in the package. 13 unit tests cover the primitives plus a cross-process determinism check that guards against accidental use of Python's salted hash().

Adds 95% percentile-bootstrap CIs to every CI-bearing composite scalar in the aggregation layer: - compute_run_level_aggregates emits mean_ci_lower/upper/n_scenarios on every composite entry (pass/derived composites get the CI on mean; success_rate stays bare). - _compute_aggregate_pass_k emits stat_ci_lower/upper for pass_at_1, pass_at_k, and pass_power_k_observed (theoretical stays bare as a deterministic transform). - Both functions accept a seed kwarg threaded by the runner in a follow-up commit. Bootstrap unit is the scenario, not the trial: two new private helpers (_scenario_means_for_metric, _scenario_values_for_composite) collapse multi-trial records to one value per scenario before resampling. For k=1 runs each record is its own scenario. Adds 15 unit tests across TestScenarioGrouping, TestRunLevelCompositeCIs, and TestRunLevelPassKCIs covering field shape, point-estimate bracketing, seed determinism, and null-CI handling for empty-data composites. Bumps metrics_version 2.0.0 -> 2.1.0 (additive schema change). Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Extends MetricsRunner to populate the per-metric half of the CI schema and wire the run-dependent seed end-to-end: - _build_per_metric_aggregates emits mean_ci_lower/upper/n_scenarios on every per-metric entry and stat_ci_lower/upper inside pass_k sub-blocks (pass_at_1, pass_at_k, pass_power_k_observed). - _save_summary and run_aggregate_only compute seed = run_seed(run_dir.name) once and thread it through both aggregators, so re-running aggregate-only on the same run yields byte-identical CIs and different runs get independent Monte-Carlo noise. Per-metric aggregates reuse aggregation._scenario_means_for_metric to collapse trials before bootstrapping; pass_k blocks share the assign_bootstrap_cis helper with the composite path. Adds 6 unit tests across TestPerMetricCIs and TestRunSeedIntegration covering per-metric field shape, null-CI handling, same-seed byte-identity, and across-run independence. (metrics_version bumped to 2.1.0 in the preceding commit; --no-verify used to skip the per-commit version-bump reminder.) Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Extract assign_mean_ci helper to utils.bootstrap, mirroring assign_bootstrap_cis. Apply at both mean-CI sites (compute_run_level_aggregates and _build_per_metric_aggregates): each call site shrinks from 11 lines to 2. bootstrap_ci is no longer imported in aggregation.py or runner.py. - Drop the leading underscore from scenario_means_for_metric since it is the cross-module surface imported by runner.py. _scenario_values_for_composite stays underscored (internal only). - Hoist _make_clean_records to module level in test_aggregation.py; the identical helper was duplicated in TestRunLevelCompositeCIs and TestRunSeedIntegration. No behavior or output-schema change. 424/424 tests pass. (--no-verify skips the per-commit version-bump reminder; version was bumped 2.0.0 -> 2.1.0 in d34ae59 and is unchanged here.)

Replaces in-place mutating helpers with pure functions that return
the CI fields, leaving the merge to the caller:
- assign_bootstrap_cis(target, samples, *, seed) -> None
becomes
bootstrap_ci_fields(samples, *, seed) -> dict
- assign_mean_ci(target, scenario_values, *, seed) -> None
becomes
mean_ci_fields(scenario_values, *, seed) -> dict
Call sites now read top-to-bottom in data-flow order:
entry.update(mean_ci_fields(scenario_values, seed=seed))
entry.update(bootstrap_ci_fields({...}, seed=seed))
instead of relying on a hidden side-effect from the helper. The
helpers are also trivially testable in isolation without
constructing a target dict.
No behavior change. 424/424 tests pass.

TestRunLevelCompositeCIs.test_within_run_determinism and test_different_seeds_differ were strictly subsumed by TestRunSeedIntegration.test_within_run_byte_identical and test_across_run_independence respectively — the integration versions exercise the same code paths through run_seed() and also check full-dict equality / point-estimate stability that the simpler versions skipped. Removing them also drops an awkward seed=13 empirical-choice hack (n=20 bimodal fixture is too stable for arbitrary seed pairs) that was only needed in the subsumed test. Net -19 lines, -1 awkward seed hack, no coverage loss. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The docstring was the only outstanding ruff failure on CI; D205 isn't auto-fixable by ruff so a manual blank line is needed between the summary line and the body. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
BASE_SEED used to play two roles: a component of run_seed (already removed in commit f6f3fae when run_seed was simplified to ignore base_seed), and a default value for bootstrap_ci / the three aggregator entry points. The second role was a silent trap: production always supplies seed = run_seed(run_dir.name), so the default was never exercised in production but would have produced correct-looking-but-wrong (because cross-run-correlated) CIs if a caller forgot to pass one. Changes: - Remove BASE_SEED constant from src/eva/utils/bootstrap.py. - Make seed a keyword-only required argument on bootstrap_ci, compute_run_level_aggregates, _compute_aggregate_pass_k, and _build_per_metric_aggregates. - Add explicit seed=42 to the 10 pre-existing test callers that weren't passing a seed (their tests don't check CI behavior; this is purely satisfying the now-required signature). - Rename test_defaults_match_module_constants -> test_n_boot_and_alpha_defaults_match_module_constants and drop the BASE_SEED check. Production behavior unchanged. 422/422 tests pass. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Adds three words to the seed kwarg docstrings so the rationale for the run_seed(run_dir.name) recommendation is visible at the call site: CIs need to be stable across re-computation of the same run. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Is this correct since it changes output fields?
…s_for_composite Both functions differed only in the value extractor; factor the shared grouping + averaging into a private _scenario_means(per_record_values) helper. Each public function becomes a one-line wrapper that builds the dict via comprehension. No new imports (no Callable needed). Also clean up two docstring touches in bootstrap_ci: - "95% percentile bootstrap CI" -> "95% bootstrap CI" (the percentile method is established at module level; "percentile" alongside "95%" reads as redundant). - "so behavior is defined" -> "so behavior is deterministic" (more precise about what the seed gives you). 422/422 tests pass.

@tara-servicenow asked about handling missing/errored samples. Here's Claude's explanation:
You can see the and then lines 96-97 in @gabegma does this make sense to you? @tara-servicenow mentioned that you had thought about handling |

This looks good to me but will let Gab review |
Every
eva metricsrun now emits 95% bootstrap confidence intervals for composite and main metrics (not sub-metrics) inmetrics_summary.json. CIs are deterministic within a run (samerun_dir.name→ byte-identical bounds) and independent across runs.Scope (purely additive — no existing field renamed or changed):
overall_scores.{COMPOSITE}.{mean_ci_lower, mean_ci_upper, mean_ci_n_scenarios}- for 6 composites: [EVA-A,EVA-X,EVA-overall] x [_pass,_mean]overall_scores.pass_k.{COMPOSITE}.{stat}_ci_{lower,upper}- forpass_at_1,pass_at_k,pass_power_k_observed(multi-trial only).pass_power_k_theoreticaldoes not have CIs (clearly).per_metric.{name}.{mean_ci_lower, mean_ci_upper, mean_ci_n_scenarios}for all metrics (typically/currently:task_completion,faithfulness,agent_speech_fidelity,conversation_progression,turn_taking,conciseness).per_metric.{name}.pass_k.{stat}_ci_{lower,upper}(k>1 only, again of course).Statistical design (matches the approach on
analysis/eva-bench-stats// in the paper): percentile bootstrap on per-scenario sample means,N_BOOT=2000,ALPHA=0.05, seed derived fromrun_dir.namevia SHA-256 (cross-process-stable).
