A dictionary pointing to a past `Experiment` id, ``refers[parent_id]``, whose trials we want to add in the history of completed trials we want to re-use. For convenience and database effiency purpose, all experiments of a common tree shares ``refers[root_id]``, with the root experiment refering to itself. version: int Current version of this experiment. metadata : dict Contains managerial information about this `Experiment`. max_trials : int How many trials must be evaluated, before considering this `Experiment` done. This attribute can be updated if the rest of the experiment configuration is the same. In that case, if trying to set to an already set experiment, it will overwrite the previous one. max_broken: int How many trials must be broken, before considering this `Experiment` broken.
