Constructor Details

LeeHastieSimulation

public LeeHastieSimulation(RandomGraph graph)

Constructor for LeeHastieSimulation.

Parameters:

graph - a RandomGraph object

Method Details

createData

public void createData(Parameters parameters,
 boolean newModel)

Creates a data set and simulates data.

Specified by:

createData in interface Simulation

Parameters:

parameters - The parameters to use in the simulation.

newModel - If true, a new model is created. If false, the model is reused.

getTrueGraph

public Graph getTrueGraph(int index)

Returns the true graph at the given index.

Specified by:

getTrueGraph in interface Simulation

Parameters:

index - The index of the desired true graph.

Returns:

That graph.

getDataModel

public DataModel getDataModel(int index)

Returns the number of data sets to simulate.

Specified by:

getDataModel in interface Simulation

Parameters:

index - The index of the desired simulated data set.

Returns:

That data set.

getDescription

public String getDescription()

Returns the description of the simulation.

Specified by:

getDescription in interface Simulation

Returns:
