Sampling options values #2

Closed FAMILIAR-project closed 4 years ago

FAMILIAR-project commented 4 years ago

There are several ways to pick some values and set a configuration. I propose to implement a naive algorithm that will randomly pick a value of an option... and does that for all options.

In case it's Boolean, 50% true/false... In case it's numerical, randomly over the possible values (for double/float we need to have a kind of precision see eg https://stackoverflow.com/a/31595824/13748216)

I have impression we need to explicitly specify the "type" of option somewhere

Mostly added in commit 8f44cd87e75093808800ea3a1c081601740b73e4 Numerical and boolean values are supported, as well as variables that can have a finite amount of values.

The problem with this method is that there are no more relationships between variables, leading to different configs having the same outcome which may not be optimal.
