Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1 Partially Adaptive Algorithm: Rn B(B, )
Open Source Code No The paper does not provide any explicit statement about open-sourcing its code or a link to a code repository for its methodology.
Open Datasets Yes We use genetic mutation data from real cancer patients: the publicly-available catalogue of somatic mutations in cancer (COSMIC) [40, 16], which includes the de-identified gene-screening panels for 1,350,015 patients.
Dataset Splits No The paper describes the number of instances and replications for synthetic data, and the processing of real-world data, but does not provide specific train, validation, or test dataset splits in terms of percentages or sample counts.
Hardware Specification No The paper does not provide any specific details about the hardware (e.g., GPU/CPU models, memory) used to run the experiments.
Software Dependencies No The paper does not list specific software dependencies with version numbers used for the experiments.
Experiment Setup Yes The threshold for entering Phase 2 policy in NJ Adaptive was set to be 0.1. [...] The threshold for entering Phase 2 policy, r, in NJ Adaptive was set to be 0.3.
