public abstract class AbstractOutcomeAlignment<T> extends java.lang.Object
Abstract class for BINARY OUTCOME alignment methods (for Binary probability alignment, see microsim.alignment.probability package; for Multiple choice probability alignment, see microsim.alignment.multi package). Acknowledgements: Partly based on "Evaluating Binary Alignment Methods in Microsimulation Models", by Jinjing Li and Cathal O�Donoghue, Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation, 2014 (http://jasss.soc.surrey.ac.uk/17/1/15/15.pdf) General principle of operation of this class: a) Some variable is defined for the agents (the variable can be a probability or an outcome). b) Alignment is called to modify that variable, possibly making use of a specific process of the agents. Hence: 1) ALIGNMENT OF PROBABILITIES: this requires a process is specified that computes individual probabilities of the occurrence of a given event. Alignment is then called to modify those probabilities. A second process is specified to determine the occurrence of the event given the (modified) probabilities. INPUTS: agentList: the list of agents; variableName: the name of the variable containing the probability of the event; targetShare or targetNumber: the share or number of positive outcomes in the population to be aligned, to be used as target; method: the alignment method to be used. 2) ALIGNMENT OF OUTCOMES: this requires a single process is specified that computes the probability of an event and the determines its occurrence. INPUTS: agentList: the list of agents; variableName: the name of the variable containing the probability of the event; process: the name of the process to be used by the alignment method to modify the variable at the individual level; targetShare or targetNumber: the share or number of positive outcomes in the population to be aligned, to be used as target; method: the alignment method to be used.- Author:
