nnp-select

The nnp-select tool extracts a small subset from a larger training data set, e.g. for testing purposes. The initial set input.data is expected to be located in the current working directory. Two different modes of operation are supported: selecting structures

randomly with given seed, or
at regular intervals.

Usage:

nnp-select <mode> <arg1 <arg2>>
           <mode> ... Choose selection mode (random/interval).
           Arguments for mode "random":
             <arg1> ... Ratio of selected structures (1.0 equals 100 %).
             <arg2> ... Seed for random number generator (integer).
           Arguments for mode "interval":
             <arg1> ... Select structures in this interval (integer).
           Execute in directory with these NNP files present:
           - input.data (structure file)

File output:

output.data: The requested subset of training structures.
reject.data: The rejected configurations, i.e. all data minus output.data.
nnp-select.log : Log file (copy of screen output).

Examples:

Select randomly 10% of the original set with random seed 123:
```
nnp-select random 0.1 123
```
Select every 20th structure from original set (starting with structure 1):
```
nnp-select interval 20
```
