Description
This PR is intended to eliminate stochasticity in the
MedianCovworkflow by including a default seed of 42 when randomly subsampling, which occurs in two places:covPerSample(), we downsample to 1M bins if the input matrix has more bins than this.covPerBin(), we downsampling to 500 samples if there are many samples for a given bin.Testing
EvidenceQc, a workflow which calls uponMedianCov.bincov_medianoutput file is identical, despite there being over 29M bins in the input file.NA20320sample has often switched between a coverage value of 19 and 20.womtool.
