Class StochasticNeedDevelopmentScheme

java.lang.Object

IRPact_modellierung.needs.NeedDevelopmentScheme

IRPact_modellierung.needs.StochasticNeedDevelopmentScheme

public class StochasticNeedDevelopmentScheme
extends NeedDevelopmentScheme

The StochasticNeedDevelopmentScheme is a NeedDevelopmentScheme, which develops needs proportionally to their needIndicator. This will however be determined stochastically, so that the developed needs are proportional to the agent groups' needIndicator only in the expected value. Scheduled NeedEvents are set up for immediate evaluation (no need development delay).

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
java.util.List<NeedEvent>	createNeedEvents(SimulationContainer simulationContainer, ConsumerAgent consumerAgent) NeedEvents are created proportionally to the needIndicatorMap provided in the constructor.
java.util.List<NeedEvent>	productExpiration(Product expiredProduct, ConsumerAgent associatedConsumer, double systemTime) Expired products trigger needs stochastically, as long as these aren't covered.

Method Detail

createNeedEvents

public java.util.List<NeedEvent> createNeedEvents(SimulationContainer simulationContainer,
                                                  ConsumerAgent consumerAgent)

NeedEvents are created proportionally to the needIndicatorMap provided in the constructor. However, only needs that are not yet satisfied will be considered for this stochastic process. The respective NeedEvents are scheduled to take place immediately.

Specified by:

createNeedEvents in class NeedDevelopmentScheme

Parameters:

simulationContainer - The container the simulation runs in

consumerAgent - The ConsumerAgent whom the needs are associated with

Returns:

A list of (immediately scheduled) NeedEvents with the Needs being proportional to the needIndicatorMap

productExpiration

public java.util.List<NeedEvent> productExpiration(Product expiredProduct,
                                                   ConsumerAgent associatedConsumer,
                                                   double systemTime)

Expired products trigger needs stochastically, as long as these aren't covered. These needs are scheduled for immediate evaluation and the probability that a NeedEvent is scheduled is proportional to the needIndicator.

Specified by:

productExpiration in class NeedDevelopmentScheme

Parameters:

expiredProduct - The product whose lifetime exceeded

associatedConsumer - The ConsumerAgent who adopted the product before its expiration

systemTime - The time of the expiration of the product

Returns:

A list of (immediately scheduled) NeedEvents with the Needs being proportional to the needIndicatorMap
