found bug - expected total seems to decrease

[npr99]

Issue moved over from: https://github.com/npr99/Labor_Market_Allocation/issues/1

The expected total should be the same across loops of MCMC SA - noticed with block 371559610003026 (
MCMC SA settings:
random_accept_threshold = 0.1
start_reduction_threshold = 0.1
max_reduction_threshold = 0.4
seed = 133234)
That the expected total decreases from 1205 to 1184 to 1159 to 1147....
This should not happen. It is possible that the random select function has a bug.

Should probably make length_expected using the wac job list not the random selection. But the random selection should always selected the same number - so the error is probably in the random selection process.

if k > 2:
seed_k = seedk + k
df = rand_select_jobs(df, seed_k)
# Check if number of jobs selected for each od pair
# matches the expected number of jobs

 # New function here

Try using unique job id
It might be that jobidac is not merging correctly and therefore dropping obs
