Explain non-deterministic function cases in docs

Open kathia-barahona opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

Issue: Some functions in both DataFrame and Series might yield different results when sorting is involved.

Proposal: dedicate a section in the docs where this issue is well explained and clear for users.

Background: https://github.com/objectiv/objectiv-analytics/pull/492#discussion_r811820706_.

Functions that can be potentially (depending on data and paramters) non-deterministic:

  • fillna()
  • drop_duplicates()
  • window_row_number()
  • window_rank()
  • mode()
