Function assert_array_almost_equal

numpy/testing/_private/utils.py:1133–1231

Raises an AssertionError if two objects are not equal up to desired precision. .. note:: It is recommended to use one of `assert_allclose`, `assert_array_almost_equal_nulp` or `assert_array_max_ulp` instead of this function for more consistent floating point

(actual, desired, decimal=6, err_msg='',

def assert_array_almost_equal(actual, desired, decimal=6, err_msg='',
                              verbose=True):
    """
    Raises an AssertionError if two objects are not equal up to desired
    precision.

    .. note:: It is recommended to use one of `assert_allclose`,
              `assert_array_almost_equal_nulp` or `assert_array_max_ulp`
              instead of this function for more consistent floating point
              comparisons.

    The test verifies identical shapes and that the elements of ``actual`` and
    ``desired`` satisfy::

        abs(desired-actual) < 1.5 * 10**(-decimal)

    That is a looser test than originally documented, but agrees with what the
    actual implementation did up to rounding vagaries. An exception is raised
    at shape mismatch or conflicting values. In contrast to the standard usage
    in numpy, NaNs are compared like numbers, no assertion is raised if both
    objects have NaNs in the same positions.

    Parameters
    ----------
    actual : array_like
        The actual object to check.
    desired : array_like
        The desired, expected object.
    decimal : int, optional
        Desired precision, default is 6.
    err_msg : str, optional
      The error message to be printed in case of failure.
    verbose : bool, optional
        If True, the conflicting values are appended to the error message.

    Raises
    ------
    AssertionError
        If actual and desired are not equal up to specified precision.

    --------
    assert_allclose: Compare two array_like objects for equality with desired
                     relative and/or absolute precision.

    Examples
    --------
    the first assert does not raise an exception

    >>> np.testing.assert_array_almost_equal([1.0,2.333,np.nan],
    ...                                      [1.0,2.333,np.nan])

    >>> np.testing.assert_array_almost_equal([1.0,2.33333,np.nan],
    ...                                      [1.0,2.33339,np.nan], decimal=5)
