'ERT.csv': a data frame with columns DIM (5D or 20D), funcId (F1-24), algId (algorithm names), target (\(10^{\{-8,-7, \ldots, 1\}}\)), ERT (expected running time), and sd (standard deviation). 'raw-data.csv': the running time recorded in each independent run. 'analysis.R': the R script that generates ERT tables in the paper. 'ecdf.R': the R script that renders the ECDF (empirical cumulative distribution function) plots in the paper.
