Hello

I have ran a hparam test and have decided it may be best to move away from an automated pipeline towards storing my results manually (mainly because the number of trials before stopping is something I want to start tracking by eye). Is it possible to export an experiment as a csv of its results or something similar?

Hi!  
Have you taken a look at ExperimentAnalysis object in Tune? [Analysis (tune.analysis) — Ray v1.9.2](https://docs.ray.io/en/latest/tune/api_docs/analysis.html)
