fix: return the samples of a posterior ensemble in random order - #2129
EnsemblePosterior.sample() and sample_batched() drew the number of samples per
component, sampled each component, and concatenated the results. So the samples were
sorted by component, and any slice of them, e.g. every row of a multi-dimensional sample_shape, came from a biased mix of the components.
The samples are now shuffled once after concatenation.
Does this close any issues?
No issue was opened, as this is a clear bug fix.
Anything else we should know?
Two equally weighted components at -2 and 2, ensemble.sample((10, 200)). Mean of each
of the 10 rows (expected about 0):
EnsemblePosterior.sample and sample_batched drew the number of samples
per component and then concatenated the components. The samples were
therefore sorted by component, so any slice of them, and every row of a
multi-dimensional sample_shape, came from a biased mix of components.
Fill the samples of each component into the positions where it was
drawn, in one helper for both methods.

Walkthrough
sample and sample_batched now shuffle samples grouped by ensemble component. When either method returns fewer samples than requested, it returns the partial samples without reshaping them. Tests cover sample mixing across rows and partial results.
Changes: Ensemble sampling
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Sample permutation and regression test sbi/inference/posteriors/ensemble_posterior.py, tests/ensemble_test.py
Both sampling methods shuffle component-grouped samples. They return partial results flat when the returned count differs from the requested count. Tests check that rows contain samples from both components and that partial results remain flat.
The change shuffles ensemble samples so slices of multidimensional sample shapes mix components, and it returns partial timeout results flat. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains.

The title states the main change: EnsemblePosterior sample outputs are now returned in random order. It is specific and matches the raw summary, which describes shuffling after grouping by component. The title follows the conventional 'fix:' prefix and is one sentence of 11 words.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description covers the core change: sample() and sample_batched() concatenated per-component samples, so output was sorted by component, and the fix shuffles samples after concatenation. It includes a reproduction with before/after row means. It leaves "Does this close any issues?" as a statement that no issue was opened, which satisfies the template. The checklist includes the required items except that it omits the uv run pytest command and the slow-test timing note, and it marks pyright as passing while the objectives say it does not pass. The AI-usage disclosure is present. The description is mostly complete, so it passes, but the pyright and pytest checklist items should be verified.

- Line 280: Promote the dtypes of the selected component samples to a common
dtype before allocating `samples` in the ensemble sampling path, then assign
each component’s draws in that dtype so mixed-precision components work in both
`sample()` and `sample_batched()`.

- Line 281: Update the component-draw collection and assignment logic to avoid
retaining a boolean mask for every selected component. In the function
containing `draws.append((is_drawn, component_samples))`, store each
`posterior_index` with its samples, compute the draw count from a temporary
mask, and recompute the mask during assignment so only one mask exists at a
time.
- Line 289: Update the ensemble sampling flow around `component_samples` and
`is_drawn` to track the actual number of draws returned by each component and
assign only that many selected positions. Adjust the outer reshape to preserve
the resulting partial draw count when `return_partial_on_timeout=True`.

A component returning fewer samples than requested could fill several
positions with one draw. Check the counts, and build each mask only
when it is used.
@aniketpandey05 thanks for the PR! I will review it after November 9. Until then, please address the CodeRabbit comments and keep the PR concise, with as few changed lines as possible.
The new test covers only sample(). EnsemblePosterior.sample_batched() has a separate shuffle, so a regression in that method would not be caught. The existing sample_batched() test checks only the output shape.
Keep the current test for sample(). Add a separate test for sample_batched((10, 100), ...) that asserts each row mixes samples from both components. Do not append that call to the current test. TractablePosterior.sample_batched() in tests/test_utils.py:247-275 raises NotImplementedError. Use components that implement sample_batched().

Review comment at @tests/ensemble_test.py around lines 191 - 206:
Keep test_ensemble_samples_are_not_sorted_by_component focused on sample(), and
add a separate test for EnsemblePosterior.sample_batched() using components that
implement sample_batched(). Assert that each row contains samples from both
components, so the test covers batched row mixing without changing the existing
test.

Preserve partial ensemble results before reshaping.
When return_partial_on_timeout=True and a DirectPosterior component times out after collecting fewer rows, both ensemble methods stack those partial rows and still apply the full requested sample shape. sample_batched() can raise a reshape error. sample() can return a tensor with an incorrect inferred event dimension. Return partial results flat, as DirectPosterior does, and reshape only when the row count matches num_samples.

With return_partial_on_timeout=True, each component returns whatever it sampled before the timeout, so the stacked samples no longer follow the ensemble weights: weights 0.9 and 0.1 with three samples per component gave a 50/50 mixture. Raise a ValueError instead, in one helper that stacks, checks and shuffles for both sample methods.
@aniketpandey05 thanks for the PR and for working through the CodeRabbit comments! The shuffle fixes the ordering bug well. With the current review capacity and the many open PRs, I will finish this myself with a small commit on top:
Ensembles now raise for partial samples, e.g., with return_partial_on_timeout=True. Each component returns what it sampled before the timeout, so the stacked samples no longer follow the ensemble weights: weights 0.9 and 0.1 with three samples per component gave a 50/50 mix.
Stacking, this check and the shuffle now live in one helper for both sample methods.

What does this PR do?
EnsemblePosterior.sample()andsample_batched()drew the number of samples percomponent, sampled each component, and concatenated the results. So the samples were
sorted by component, and any slice of them, e.g. every row of a multi-dimensional
sample_shape, came from a biased mix of the components.The samples are now shuffled once after concatenation.
Does this close any issues?
No issue was opened, as this is a clear bug fix.
Anything else we should know?
Two equally weighted components at -2 and 2,
ensemble.sample((10, 200)). Mean of eachof the 10 rows (expected about 0):
mainPRs #2111 and #2123 also edit
ensemble_posterior.py, but onlymap(), so they shouldnot conflict.
