Hello, everyone,
I found a problem with the 'ExperienceBufferLength' property in 'rlDDPGAgentOptions' when specifying options for rl agents.
In this example, every episode has 600 (60/0.1) steps. Does the agent start to train when the experience buffer is filled up with the experiences (S,A,R,S'). If so, it would take at least 1667 (1000000/600 ) episodes before the agent starts to improve.
So I want to know how to determine this value.

The agent will train until at least one minibatch can be sampled from the buffer. If your mini batch size is 64, then the first learn step will occur after the buffer has stored 64 experiences. The experience buffer is circular, i.e., it removes older experiences when full. The size of the buffer is hence important. You may lose important experiences if the buffer size is too small.

How about if we want to fill our buffer first and then start taking minibatches?? how to implement this in matlab?

For that you can set:
agent.AgentOptions.NumWarmStartSteps=experience_buffer_length
As default, this is set to the minibatch size, but changing to the experience buffer size will force the algorithm to wait until the buffer is full.
