Baseline step
A baseline step performs an experiment (a baseline experiment) and marks it as the initial experiment of a study. The purpose of the step is to build a reference configuration that Akamas can use to measure the effectiveness of an optimization conducted towards a system.
A baseline step offers three options when it comes to selecting the configuration of the baseline experiment:
Use a configuration made with the default values of the parameters taken from the system of the study
Use a configuration taken from an experiment of another study
Use a custom configuration
The baseline step has the following structure:
where the from
field should have the following structure:
with
study
contains the name or ID of the study from which to take the configurationexperiments
contains the number of the experiment from which to take the configuration
Examples
Baseline configuration with default values
Default values for the baseline configuration only require setting the name
and type
fields:
Baseline configuration from another study
The configuration taken from another study to be used as a baseline only requires setting the from
field:
Notice: the from
and experiments
fields are defined as an array, but can only contain one element.
Custom baseline configuration
The custom configuration for the baseline only requires setting the values
