fix: un-log negative-log p-value columns instead of shipping the score verbatim - #114
Merged
Conversation
…e verbatim pvalue_target already routed spellings like 'negative log p value' / '-log10(p)' onto p_value / adjusted_p_value, but the score rode through untouched: a -log10(p)=8 enrichment column (the mokg-v12 HOYER1 fixture ships exactly this shape) emitted p_value 8.0 and sig banded it not_significant - the exact inverse of the truth. is_neglog10_column recognizes an explicit negation marker (negative / negated / neg / -) before a log/log10 p-or-q token; coerce_pvalue_columns un-logs the chosen column (p = 10**-x) as it renames it, and sig un-logs its chosen source before banding. Float64 underflow floors extreme scores at 0.0 (band-identical to p ~ 0); nulls stay null. Plain log10 spellings without a negation marker are deliberately left verbatim (sign convention ambiguous), and a raw p-value column still beats a -log10 alias.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Require a complete p/q token.
The final [pq] match can stop at the first character of an unrelated word. For example, is_neglog10_column("negative log protein") returns True. A name such as negative log protein FDR can also reach coerce_pvalue_columns through the standalone FDR classifier and be un-logged incorrectly.
Align this pattern with the supported p/q-value tokens and require a valid token boundary. Add near-miss tests such as negative log protein and negative log qwerty.

Prefer raw p/q candidates before fuzzy ranking.
When both candidate types map to the same target, exclude is_neglog10_column candidates if a raw candidate exists. Otherwise "P" can lose to "negative log10 p value", and "FDR" can lose to "negative log10 q value", causing incorrect p_value/adjusted_p_value values and significance bands. Apply the same candidate rule in coerce_pvalue_columns and sig.

Cut 14.0.0 and bump the package version in pyproject.toml, uv.lock, and CITATION.cff. Major: one breaking change since 13.0.0. Generated edges no longer duplicate each nested `sources` entry's provenance identifier into `sources[].id`; `resource_id` is now the sole identifier on a retrieval-source entry (#115). The pinned Biolink model still requires the inherited `Entity.id` on `RetrievalSource`, so the validator supplies it to an in-memory compatibility copy only, and neither the decoded record nor the written NDJSON carries it. Also ships the explicit retrieval-`sources` template with `{edge_id}` record-URL interpolation (#116) and the negative-log p-value un-logging fix (#114). Changelog: - The Unreleased section was missing #116 entirely; added it under `Added`, and gave the two existing entries their PR links plus a reader migration note for the `sources[].id` removal. Docs: - `docs/configuration/table.md`'s automatic-coercion section documented neither half of #114: added a `Negative-log P value` row to the recognition table and a bullet covering the un-logging (`p = 10 ** -x` on rename and on banding), the complete-token requirement, the deliberate pass on unmarked `log10` spellings, raw-beats-alias selection, and the Float64 underflow floor. Every documented spelling was checked against `is_neglog10_column` and `pvalue_target`. - `docs/cli.md`'s validate-kgx section explained the pending-field count but not the mirror case #115 introduced; added the `RetrievalSource` compatibility alias, including that it stops being applied once a model release drops the requirement. - Removed the five em-dashes #115 and #116 reintroduced into the two doc pages, restoring the docs-wide convention set in abb042a. Known gap, deliberately not fixed here: `PVALUE_TOKEN_PATTERN` anchors on `\b`, which does not fire after an underscore, so `raw_pvalue` / `adj_pvalue` / `fdr_pvalue` / `negative_log10_pvalue` are not recognized as p-value columns at all, even though the same names with a separated token (`gene_p_value`) and the bare-P forms (`raw_p`) are. It predates this window and changing recognition would shift behavior for existing configs, so it wants its own PR.
