Issue:
In the reach and frequency protocol, calculated variance values can sometimes be negative due to rounding errors or approximations in the computation. While mathematically, variance should always be non-negative, these small negative values can arise.
Current Solution:
To address this, functions that compute variance currently return max(0.0, variance). This ensures non-negativity and maintains consistency in metric calculations. However, it can mask potentially significant issues when the variance has an unreasonably large negative value.
Proposed Improvements: Logging: Whenever a negative variance is encountered, the value should be logged. This helps in identifying and diagnosing potential problems. Threshold: Establish a threshold for acceptable negative variance values. If a calculated variance falls outside the threshold, it should trigger an alert or warning, indicating a potential issue that requires further investigation.
