public class ConsecutiveMerit
extends AfterPickMerit

A consecutive merit guarantees a merit that is raised from the scale factor after it has been successfully observed for at least KEY_SUCCESSCOUNT times. The zero-time returned is the pick-time of this target's KEY_SUCCESSCOUNT successful observation.

Constructor Detail

ConsecutiveMerit

public ConsecutiveMerit(Map<String,String> prop)

Constructs a new successor merit. This merit returns zero until the requested number of observations has been conducted on the precursor target.

Method Detail

checkForStartTime

protected double checkForStartTime(Appointable me,
                                   Collection ignore,
                                   GlobalGrouping dummy)

Checks if we can deduce a start-time from the targets handed over. A consecutive merit checks if it has enough successful observations. Only then, the pick time of the KEY_SUCCESSCOUNT observation is returned, zero otherwise.
