//! Test-Driven Development (TDD) suite for P1 fix: Enable PER by default
|
|
//!
|
|
//! This test suite validates that Prioritized Experience Replay (PER) is:
|
|
//! 1. Enabled by default in CLI (no --use-per flag required)
|
|
//! 2. Properly initialized with correct parameters
|
|
//! 3. Sampling by TD error (not uniform distribution)
|
|
//! 4. Updating priorities during training
|
|
//! 5. Converging faster than uniform sampling
|
|
//! 6. Beta annealing operational
|
|
//!
|
|
//! Expected Impact: +25-40% sample efficiency (fewer epochs to target Sharpe)
