Bootstrap step

A bootstrap step imports either a set of experiments from another study or the whole study. The purpose of the step is to bootstrap a new study with experiments alredy calculated by another study, without the need to run them again. In fact, when a bootstrap step imports an experiment from another study, the step copies not only the experiment but also its trials and the system metrics generated during its former execution.

The bootstrap step has the following structure:

where the from field should have the following structure:

study: "study_bootstrap_1"
experiments: [1,2,3]

with:

• study contains the name or ID of the study from which to import experiments

• experiments contains the numbers of the experiments from which to import

Examples

The following is an example of a bootstrap step that imports four experiments from two studies:

name: "my_bootstrap"  # name of the step
type: "bootstrap"     # type of the step (bootstrap)
from:
  - study: "study_bootstap_1"  # name or ID of the study from which to import
    experiments: [1, 2, 4]     # the numbers of the experiments to import
  - study: "study_bootstrap_2"
    experiments: [1]

You can also import all the experiments of a study by omitting the experiments field:

name: "my_bootstrap"   # name of the step
type: "bootstrap"      # type of the step (bootstrap)
from:
  - study: "study_bootstrap_1" # name or ID of the study from which to import
