-"""
-Imagine we want to generate many samples out of a collection, that we want to distribute for others to run their
-own experiments in the very same test samples. One naive solution would come down to applying a given protocol to
-our collection (say the artificial prevalence protocol on the 'academic-success' UCI dataset), store all those samples
-on disk and make them available online. Distributing many such samples is undesirable.
-In this example, we generate the indexes that allow anyone to regenerate the samples out of the original collection.
