public class SuccessorMerit
extends AfterPickMerit

A successor merit guarantees a merit that is only higher then zero if another target KEY_SUCCEED has been successfully observed for at least KEY_SUCCESSCOUNT times. The zero-time returned is the pick-time of the KEY_SUCCEED's KEY_SUCCESSCOUNT successful observation.

Field Detail

KEY_SUCCEED

public static final String KEY_SUCCEED

The target that must be observed for this one to activate.

Constant Field Values

KEY_SUCCESSCOUNT

public static final String KEY_SUCCESSCOUNT

The number of observations required for KEY_SUCCEED.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

DEFFLAVOR

private static final double DEFFLAVOR

The default flavor is zero. It returns zero-merit prior to start.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

DEFSUCCESSCOUNT

private static final int DEFSUCCESSCOUNT

The default successful observations required for the precursor.

Constant Field Values

t0

private double t0

The starting point t0. Zero means undefined.

Constructor Detail

SuccessorMerit

public SuccessorMerit(Map prop)

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

Method Detail

checkForStartTime

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

Checks if we can deduce a start-time from the targets handed over. A successor merit roams through the list of targets, finds the one with a matching name to KEY_SUCCEED and checks if it has enough successful observations in it. Only then, the pick time of the KEY_SUCCESSCOUNT observation is returned, zero otherwise.
