TimeDistribution

interface TimeDistribution<T>

Generates non-negative delays between occurrences.

The sampling operation follows the same separation used by Apache Commons Math distributions: drawing a value does not know which reaction consumes it or how that reaction is scheduled. Reactions convert sampled delays to absolute simulation times and own every decision about preserving, replacing, or transforming an occurrence.

Properties

finitePositiveMeanDelayOrError

open val finitePositiveMeanDelayOrError: Double

The current meanDelay, for consumers requiring it to be finite and positive.

abstract val meanDelay: Double

The expected value of the delays drawn by sample in the current model state.

Functions

abstract fun newInstanceOn(node: Node<T>): TimeDistribution<T>

abstract fun sample(): Time

Draws the next delay.
