Description

For more targeted analysis, allow specifying specific sample seeds to use, instead of just requiring every sample seed in 1:nsamples.

This has been implemented in PRAS-ED, but a more elegant approach would be to combine this with a broader refactoring of result collection to avoid allocating nthreads copies of each result accumulator (pass sample-level results into the result channel instead of entire result accumulators).

Research direction

Start by examining how sample seeds are selected and how result collection currently allocates result accumulators across threads. Compare the existing PRAS-ED implementation mentioned in the issue, then define completion as accepting a targeted set of sample seeds and passing sample-level results through the result channel without allocating nthreads copies of each accumulator.
