ValueError: negative dimensions are not allowed

[njuptlht]

When I directly follow the instructions to run the ‘experiment.py’, I will report an error as follows:ValueError: negative dimensions are not allowed.Should I download the dataset first？

If you're running experiment.py with the same parameters given in the example, you should not require to download any dataset. Make sure you're running it as:

python experiment.py --dataset himoon --epsilon 0.01 --dimension 100 --n_samples 100000 --n_dim 100000 --method pardfrocc --repetitions 1 --outfile himoon_results.csv

From the error you're getting, it seems like either --dimension or --n_dim is receiving negative value. Please check for typos. If the error persists, please post the traceback and environment information.
