hey guys,
how does one use 'reset avg. after' in a way it makes sense. i was told if i want to run lets say 25 I/N i should put in something close to 25...like 23. if i run my sim deeper, lets say 150 I/N i might want to reset after earlier, maybe 75. but i dont really understand why. im not even sure what average im resetting
can someone please elaborate on this. appreciate any guidance
what i have found so far on discord thanks to Tommie_to:
Tommie_to:
"Since the results you have converge more and more to the "actual" solution, reset the average should always give at least a solution as good as the previous one, if not better. But as you probably already noticed, if the solution runs for like 100 I/N, resetting it does not change that much.
So I think it mainly is important to reset the average when you are planning on running a relatively low I/N number, like 30 for example. Since the first 15 I/N might be relatively inaccurate compared to the later 15, so then you can remove the first 15 from your results by resetting the average after 15 I/N
Correct me if I am wrong, but I'd say the numbers are converging (which basically means getting closer and closer) to some equilibrium. If you reset the average, the numbers before you press the reset button, are not taken into consideration anymore when calculating the average, which means that you only get the 'more accurate' part of your results to calculate the average.
So for example, when you look at the image, if you reset the average after a certain time period, you remove all irrelevant data that is probably not even close to the solution you want to get, so your averages are probably more accurate then."
so my take would be setting the 'reset to avg. after' depending on the general accuracy of the I/N i want to run. meaning if i plan to run 25 I/N, i should at least make it run to 20 (which is supposed to be the min setting for i/n one should do to get a decently accurate sim) before resetting the avg. is this assumption correct? but will be the 'next' 5 i/n be enough to be sufficient after resetting the average? so maybe its better to reset after 15 i/n to have 10 i/n more 'to go' with a reset average?
