# Issue Analysis and Resolution Plan

## Repository Assessment Summary

**Date:** 2025-11-11
**Branch:** `claude/improve-repository-comprehensive-011CV2gNPpkRH5X9crvt9Um3`

### Main Functionality Overview

The repository exports 20+ plotting functions across 9 modules:

**Primary Interface Objects (from `__init__.py`):**
- `kdeplot_w_boundary_condition` - KDE plots with boundary conditions
- `ax_func_to_plot` - Grid layouts for multiple plots
- `make_ui_score_mapping` - Sigmoid-like score mappings
- `plot_scores_and_zones` - Outlier score visualization
- `density_distribution` - Density distribution plotting
- `scatter_and_color_according_to_y` - Dimensionality reduction scatter plots
- `side_by_side_bar` - Side-by-side bar charts
- `plot_confusion_matrix` - Confusion matrix visualization
- 9 matrix plotting functions (heatmap, xy_boxplot, etc.)
- `dict_bar_plot` - Dictionary bar plots
- 4 utility functions

### Test Coverage Assessment

**Current Status:** ❌ **ZERO tests exist**

This is the most critical gap in the repository. No automated testing means:
- No regression detection
- No validation of functionality
- High risk of breaking changes
- Difficult to maintain confidence in code quality

**Action:** Create comprehensive test suite for main interface functions.

### Documentation Quality Assessment

**Overall:** ✅ **Good**

- **README.md:** Excellent - comprehensive examples for most main functions
- **Module docstrings:** Present and adequate
- **Function docstrings:** Mixed quality but generally acceptable
- **Code examples:** Abundant in README

**Action:** Minimal documentation improvements needed; README already comprehensive.

## Open Issues Analysis

### Issue #1: scatter_and_color_according_to_y problems

**URL:** https://github.com/i2mint/oplot/issues/1
**Opened:** Jan 9, 2021
**Status:** ✅ **REAL BUG - FIXABLE**
**Category:** Bug
**Effort:** Simple
**Dependencies:** None

#### Problem 1: AttributeError with colorbar

**Description:** Line 298 and 324 call `ax.colorbar()` which raises `AttributeError: 'AxesSubplot' object has no attribute 'colorbar'`

**Root Cause:** Incorrect matplotlib API usage. Axes objects don't have a `colorbar()` method.

**Fix:** Replace `ax.colorbar()` with `fig.colorbar(sc)` or `plt.colorbar(sc)`

**Status:** ✅ **FIXED** in this PR

**Files affected:**
- `oplot/plot_data_set.py:298`
- `oplot/plot_data_set.py:324`

#### Problem 2: Inappropriate LDA warning

**Description:** Warning "LDA cannot be used to produce 2 dimensions if y has less than 3 classes" appears for binary classification.

**Assessment:** This is actually **expected behavior**, not a bug. LDA with 2 classes can only produce 1 dimension, so the fallback to PCA is correct.

**Action:** Warning message is appropriate. Could be enhanced with more explanation but not critical.

### Issue #3: Event detection accuracy plot

**URL:** https://github.com/i2mint/oplot/issues/3
**Opened:** Jul 21, 2022
**Status:** ⚠️ **ENHANCEMENT REQUEST**
**Category:** Feature request
**Effort:** Complex
**Dependencies:** None

#### Description

Request for a new visualization type that overlays both actual and detected event locations on a time-series plot, using vertical positioning (min-to-mid and max-to-mid) rather than color differentiation.

#### Assessment

This is a **feature request** for functionality that doesn't currently exist. Implementation would require:
1. Clarification of exact requirements
2. Example use cases
3. Design of the visualization API
4. Implementation and testing

#### Action

**Comment posted** requesting:
- Specific use case examples
- Mock-up or sketch of desired visualization
- Data format examples
- Whether this should be a new function or extension of existing ones

**Recommendation:** Keep open, await user clarification before implementing.

### Issue #5: outlier_scores.py need fixing

**URL:** https://github.com/i2mint/oplot/issues/5
**Opened:** Jan 6, 2021
**Status:** ⚠️ **NEEDS INVESTIGATION**
**Category:** Bug
**Effort:** Medium
**Dependencies:** External notebook reference

#### Functions reported as problematic:

1. `find_prop_markers` (line 57-97)
2. `get_confusion_zones_percentiles` (line 141-178)
3. `get_confusion_zones_std` (line 181-202)

#### Assessment

The issue references an external Jupyter notebook (`ca/913-outlier_scores_functions.ipynb`) that demonstrates the problems. Without access to:
- The specific test cases
- Expected vs actual behavior
- The referenced notebook

It's **impossible to determine** what the actual bugs are or how to fix them.

#### Code Review

Reviewing the three functions:
- All have reasonable logic
- Doctests would help validate behavior
- No obvious bugs in the code itself
- May be issues with edge cases or specific parameter combinations

#### Action

**Comment posted** requesting:
- Specific test cases that fail
- Expected vs actual outputs
- Access to the referenced notebook or equivalent examples
- Whether these issues still exist in current codebase

**Recommendation:** Await user response. Cannot fix without reproduction steps.

### Issue #6: Order of classes in make_normal_outlier_timeline

**URL:** https://github.com/i2mint/oplot/issues/6
**Opened:** Jan 7, 2021
**Status:** ✅ **REAL BUG - FIXABLE**
**Category:** Bug
**Effort:** Simple
**Dependencies:** None

#### Problem

The `make_normal_outlier_timeline` function doesn't respect user-specified class ordering when `y_order=None`.

**Location:** `oplot/plot_stats.py:398-399`

```python
if not y_order:
y_order = np.unique(y) # This sorts values, losing original order!
```

#### Root Cause

`np.unique()` returns sorted unique values, not values in order of first appearance.

#### Fix

Replace with code that preserves insertion order:

```python
if not y_order:
# Preserve order of first appearance instead of sorting
seen = set()
y_order = [x for x in y if not (x in seen or seen.add(x))]
```

Or use pandas approach:
```python
if not y_order:
y_order = pd.Series(y).unique() # Preserves insertion order
```

Or pure numpy (Python 3.7+ dict ordering):
```python
if not y_order:
y_order = list(dict.fromkeys(y)) # Preserves insertion order
```

**Status:** ✅ **FIXED** in this PR

**Files affected:**
- `oplot/plot_stats.py:398-399`

## Testing Strategy

### Test Coverage Goals

Focus on **main interface objects** only (not internal helpers):

**Priority 1 (Critical):**
- `heatmap` - Most used matrix function
- `scatter_and_color_according_to_y` - Complex with known bugs
- `plot_confusion_matrix` - Statistical accuracy critical
- `density_distribution` - New, needs validation

**Priority 2 (Important):**
- `kdeplot_w_boundary_condition` - Unique functionality
- `ax_func_to_plot` - Layout logic
- `plot_scores_and_zones` - Visualization accuracy
- `make_ui_score_mapping` - Mathematical correctness

**Priority 3 (Nice to have):**
- `dict_bar_plot` - Simple functionality
- `side_by_side_bar` - Simple functionality
- Utility functions - Support functions

### Test Approach

- Unit tests for individual functions
- Integration tests for complex workflows
- Visual regression tests (where applicable)
- Edge case testing (empty data, single point, etc.)
- Parameter validation testing

---

## Conclusion

This repository has **excellent documentation** and **useful functionality**, but **lacks tests entirely**. Two issues (#1 and #6) are straightforward bugs that have been fixed. Two issues (#3 and #5) require user clarification before action can be taken.

The priority should be:
1. ✅ Build comprehensive test suite (completed)
2. ✅ Fix confirmed bugs (completed)
3. ⏳ Await user feedback on enhancement requests
4. 🔄 Continuously improve test coverage
