  • Test documents performance degradation with >10K observations
  • check_model() currently takes 5+ minutes on 25K dataset
  • Test expects completion in <30 seconds
  • Initially FAILS as expected (proving bug exists)

This test will pass after implementing data sampling in plot.check_model().

In the Next Commit I will Push the Code with all the necessary Fixes .

Relates to #420

Summary of Changes

Hello @ANAMASGARD, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request introduces a comprehensive set of R tests designed to expose and quantify a significant performance bottleneck in the check_model() function when processing large datasets. By establishing a failing test case that demonstrates the current slow execution, it lays the groundwork for future performance improvements, specifically through the implementation of data sampling, while also ensuring that sampling does not negatively impact smaller datasets or visual accuracy.

Highlights

  • Performance Degradation Test: Introduces a new test file (test-performance_large_datasets.R) to specifically highlight and reproduce a performance issue in check_model() with datasets exceeding 10,000 observations.
  • Expected Failure & Future Fix: The test is designed to initially fail (taking over 5 minutes for a 25K dataset, expecting <30 seconds) to confirm the existence of the performance bug, with the expectation that it will pass once data sampling is implemented in plot.check_model().
  • Sampling Behavior Tests: Includes additional tests to ensure that data sampling, once implemented, preserves visual fidelity for small datasets, significantly speeds up plotting for large datasets, and that medium datasets (below the sampling threshold) still perform reasonably well.

Code Review

This pull request adds a new test file to document and test a performance issue with check_model() on large datasets. The new tests are designed to fail initially and will pass once the performance fix is implemented. My review focuses on improving the clarity and maintainability of the new test code. I've suggested renaming a misleadingly named test and an associated cleanup, as well as using a more specific variable name to avoid confusion. Overall, this is a good step towards addressing the performance problem.

- Rename test to better describe what it checks
- Remove unnecessary lme4 dependency skip for lm() test
- Use unique variable name (large_data_lm) to avoid confusion

Based on Gemini Code Assist review feedback.
- Add .sample_for_plot() helper (default 3000 points) and apply sampling in QQ, REQQ, linearity and homogeneity plots
- Preserve all influential points when sampling outliers plot
- Add performance test for large datasets

Fixes easystats#420
ANAMASGARD and others added 2 commits October 26, 2025 17:36
- Remove trailing whitespace from all modified files
- Fix line length in roxygen comment (split to <120 chars)
- Use sample.int() instead of sample(seq_len())
- Remove explicit return() statements per linter
- Run styler on all modified files

All tests pass. Ready for CI checks.
