## Sampling Methodology

This dataset was created using **reservoir sampling**, a statistically unbiased random sampling algorithm that guarantees each sample from the source dataset has an equal probability of being included. This ensures the 10M token sample is representative of the full dataset's characteristics.

**Source Dataset**: [HuggingFaceFW/finepdfs](https://huggingface.co/datasets/HuggingFaceFW/finepdfs)
**Sample Size**: 10M tokens
**Content**: High-quality textbook-style pdfs

Reservoir sampling enables rapid experimentation and ablation studies without processing the entire source dataset, while maintaining statistical validity of results.

For details on how this dataset was used in optimal pre-training data composition research, see the [blog post](https://huggingface.co/blog/codelion/optimal-dataset-mixing/).
