MarkovChainMaxNumStepController

public MarkovChainMaxNumStepController(int maxSteps)

Create a Monte Carlo controller object that stops the run after a specified number of steps (a fixed path length).

Parameters:

maxSteps - the maximum length of the monte carlo chain.

Method Detail

goOn

public final boolean goOn(MarkovChainMonteCarlo mc)

Description copied from interface: MarkovChainController

Returns whether or not to continue with the calculation.

Specified by:

goOn in interface MarkovChainController

Parameters:

mc - the Monte Carlo process this object is to control.

Returns:

true if the process can continue, false if it should stop after the current step.
