Experiment scripts
In the directory "new-scripts" you find some scripts that facilitate conducting experiments. An experiment is conducted in three stages: Generation of experiments, fetching of results and production of reports. Each stage has its own generic main module: experiments.py, resultfetcher.py, reports.py. These modules provide useful classes and methods and can be imported by scripts that actually define concrete actions. For the fast downward planning system the example scripts that use these modules are downward-experiments.py, downward-resultfetcher.py, downward-reports.py. The first one can be seen as a reference example for own experiments, the other two can be used as they are from the commandline. Passing -h on the commandline gives you an overview of each script's commands.
Generate an experiment
./downward-experiments.py test-exp -c cea -s TEST
Generates a simple planning experiment with the configuration cea and the suite TEST in the directory "test-exp".
Fetch and parse results
./downward-resultfetcher.py test-exp
Traverses the directory tree under "test-exp" and parses
Make reports
./downward-reports.py test-exp-eval
