CurveCompetitivenessModel

Overview

A more complex model of competitiveness allowing the applications of functions. Note that the function is applied to the per-cell residual demand before the result is multiplied by the cell's production!

Code Example

<competition class="org.volante.abm.example.CurveCompetitivenessModel">
    <curve service="Meat">
        <curve class="com.moseph.modelutils.curve.LinearFunction" a="3.0" b="3.0" />
    </curve>
    <curve service="Cereal">
        <curve class="com.moseph.modelutils.curve.LinearFunction" a="3.0" b="3.0" />
    </curve>
    <curve service="Recreation">
        <curve class="com.moseph.modelutils.curve.ExponentialFunction" A="0.0" B="1.0" C="1.0"/>
    </curve>
</competition>

Parameters

Name	Type	Default	Description
removeCurrentLevel	boolean	false	If set to true, then the current supply will be added back to the residual demand, so competitiveness is calculated as if the cell is currently empty.
removeNegative	boolean	false	If set to true, all negative demand (i.e. oversupply) is removed from the dot product.
curve	Curve	-	A set of curves which are loaded in. The attribute "service" is required as key.
linearCSV	String	null	If this points to a csv file with the columns serviceColumn, interceptColumn, slopeColumn this will be loaded as a set of linear functions with the given parameters.
serviceColumn	String	Service	Service the row is applied to
interceptColumn	String	Intercept	IIntercept of linear function
slopeColumn	String	Slope	Slope of linear function
