generate_lhc_set_in_db: Generate LHC analysis sample and store in database

In kalden/spartanDB: MySQL Database Utilities for Spartan Sensitivity Analysis Package

Description

Generates a set of parameters for execution in simulation to permit an LHC/PRCC analysis as described in spartan. These parameters are stored in the database, either for a given experiment ID created previously, or a new experiment is created in the database

Usage

generate_lhc_set_in_db(dblink, parameters, num_samples, minvals, maxvals,
  algorithm, experiment_id = NULL, experiment_description = NULL,
  experiment_date = Sys.Date(), return_experiment_id = FALSE)

Arguments

dblink	A link to the database in which this table is being created
parameters	The parameters of the simulation that are being analysed
num_samples	The number of samples to take from the hypercube
minvals	The minimum value of the range to explore for each parameter
maxvals	The maximum value of the range to explore for each parameter
algorithm	Choice of algorithm to use to generate the hypercube. Can be set to either 'normal' or 'optimum'. Beware optimum can take a long time to generate an optimised parameter set (more than 24 hours in some circumstances)
experiment_id	The ID of the experiment in the database, if not a new experiment. If NULL an experiment ID will be created
experiment_description	A description of this experiment, if a new experiment is being created
experiment_date	Date experiment created. Defaults to today's date if not entered
return_experiment_id	Whether the experiment ID generated should be returned
