Independent mokernel failing numerical equality test randomly

[mjp98]

Testing locally on 1.8.5, I find that https://github.com/JuliaGaussianProcesses/KernelFunctions.jl/blob/master/test/mokernels/independent.jl#L17 occasionally fails,

independent: Test Failed at .../KernelFunctions.jl/test/mokernels/independent.jl:17
  Expression: kernelmatrix(k, x, y) == kernelmatrix(k, collect(x), collect(y))

presumably due to some floating point error. The input matrices are set randomly:

    x = KernelFunctions.MOInputIsotopicByOutputs([rand(5) for _ in 1:4], outdim)
    y = KernelFunctions.MOInputIsotopicByOutputs([rand(5) for _ in 1:4], outdim)
    z = KernelFunctions.MOInputIsotopicByOutputs([rand(5) for _ in 1:2], outdim)

It may be worth adding a seed (maybe with StableRNGs.jl?) so this is consistent across runs, and only testing equality up to a sensible numerical tolerance

Definitely. This looks like a test we shouldn't have written. I'll make a PR with the changes now.

#495 should resolve
