# Example 31 — IMPMAP Warm-Start Diagnostics **Script:** `examples/31_impmap_warm_start.py` This example demonstrates the FOCEI warm-start path used by `IMPMAP` on the bundled warfarin PK dataset. It intentionally runs only a very short IMPMAP outer optimization so the example stays quick and focused on the warm-start diagnostics rather than on a full IMP benchmark run. ## What it shows - `IMPMAP` invokes a short FOCEI pass before the importance-sampling objective. - Warm-start diagnostics are attached under `result.diagnostics["warm_start"]`. - The short outer run records an OFV history without needing a long adaptive-ESS optimization. ## Key output The script prints: - whether the FOCEI warm-start was used, - whether the warm-start itself converged, - the warm-start OFV and message, - the short-run IMPMAP OFV and THETA vector, - the number of recorded OFV evaluations. ## Notes - This is a diagnostics-oriented example, not a full validated IMPMAP benchmark. - For stronger numerical validation of the warfarin IMPMAP path, see the empirical reference coverage in `tests/external_validation/test_imp_empirical_reference.py`.
