Extra Configuration

To create a new experiment-specific configuration variable, define extra_parameters in your experiment.py file:

def extra_parameters():
    config.register('n', int, [], False)

Here, 'n' is a string with the name of the parameter, int is its type, [] is a list of synonyms that be used to access the same parameter, and False is a boolean signifying that this configuration parameter is not sensitive and can be saved in plain text. Once defined in this way, a parameter can be used anywhere that built-in parameters are used.
