Set results directory for an Experiment.

Set the directory in which the Experiment's results and visualizations are saved.

Usage

set_save_dir(experiment, save_dir)

Arguments

experiment

An Experiment object.

save_dir

The directory in which the Experiment's results will be saved.

Value

The original Experiment object with the updated saving directory.

Examples

## create toy DGPs, Methods, Evaluators, and Visualizers

# generate data from normal distribution with n samples

bernoulli_dgp <- create_dgp(
  .dgp_fun = function(n) rbinom(n, 1, 0.5), .name = "Bernoulli DGP", n = 100
)

# compute mean of data
mean_method <- create_method(
  .method_fun = function(x) list(mean = mean(x)), .name = "Mean(x)"
