Notice: The reproducibility variables underlying each score are classified using an automated LLM-based pipeline, validated against a manually labeled dataset. LLM-based classification introduces uncertainty and potential bias; scores should be interpreted as estimates. Full accuracy metrics and methodology are described in Coakley et alK. L. Coakley, T. Snelleman, H. Hoos, and O. E. Gundersen, "The embrace of open science: An analysis of a decade of AI research and 56 800 conference papers," Under Review, 2026..

| Pseudocode | Yes | Algorithm 1 Guided zeroth-order method with new samples Algorithm 2 Guided zeroth-order method with historical samples |
| Open Source Code | No | The program code was implemented in Python 3.12.2. The paper does not contain a specific link to a code repository or an explicit statement about open-sourcing the code for the methodology described. |
| Open Datasets | Yes | The data, New Product Sales Ranking , has been made publicly available by KSP-SP Co., Ltd, http://www.ksp-sp.com. Last accessed on January 28, 2025. We conducted experiments on the application of strategic classification with a real dataset from (Yeh & hui Lien, 2009).7 As with (Levanon & Rosenfeld, 2021), we used a preprocessed version of the data by (Ustun et al., 2019). |
| Dataset Splits | Yes | We divided 13272 data samples into a 12272-sample training set and 1000-sample test set in our experiments. |
| Hardware Specification | Yes | All experiments were conducted on a computer with Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2697A v4 (2.60GHz) x2 and 512GB of memory RAM. |
| Software Dependencies | Yes | The program code was implemented in Python 3.12.2. |
| Experiment Setup | Yes | GZO-NS. This is Algorithm 1 with µ0 := 0.2, µmin := 0.0001, α0 = 0, βk := 0.01 0.95k, η = 0.95, γ = 0.98, mk := 30 + 2k, and nk := 30 + 2k, where k is the current iteration number. Details of the parameters can be found in Appendix A.1.2 and A.2.1. |
