MonteCarloScenario

Method Detail

run

public abstract MonteCarloResults run(int seed)

Compute the value of the Monte Carlo model/simulation at the given set of coordinates.

Parameters:

seed - a seed for the random number generator in the scenario. Scenarios are created so quickly, relying on the clock as a seed may lead to a lot of generator with the same sequence.

Returns:

a Monte Carlo Results object.

copyOf

public MonteCarloScenario copyOf()

Create a copy of the MonteCarloScenario object. This is used by the MonteCarlo producer object to create a copy of each scenario object, allowing for each scenario to control which attributes are deep or shallow copied.

Returns:

a (deep) copy of the MonteCarloScenario object.
