Observation Sampling

NeurIPS 2022: CityLearn Challenge

When sampling from the observation space, e.g. via env.observation_space[building].sample(), which of the following is occurring:

  1. uniformly sample from the range of possible values for each feature
  2. sample entire records from real historical observations
  3. something else!

Thanks for your time.

Hi @lucasmccabe, the correct behavior is (1). It returns a random sample that is within the low and high ranges of the observations. Please see this post as well for more context on the observation space object.
