I'm trying to write a unit test for some of my code that uses scikit-learn. However, my unit tests seem to be non-deterministic.
AFAIK, the only places in my code where scikit-learn uses any randomness are in its LogisticRegression
model and its train_test_split
, so I have the following:
RANDOM_SEED = 5
self.lr = LogisticRegression(random_state=RANDOM_SEED)
X_train, X_test, y_train, test_labels = train_test_split(docs, labels, test_size=TEST_SET_PROPORTION, random_state=RANDOM_SEED)
But this doesn't seem to work -- even when I pass a fixed docs
and a fixed labels
, the prediction probabilities on a fixed validation set vary from run to run.
I also tried adding a numpy.random.seed(RANDOM_SEED)
call at the top of my code, but that didn't seem to work either.
Is there anything I'm missing? Is there a way to pass a seed to scikit-learn in a single place, so that seed is used throughout all of scikit-learn's invocations?
