PlayerState

This class represents the learning state of a subject. It couples data stored in PlayerCharacteristics to other dynamic adaptation variables, such as the current incentivized profile.

Constructor

PlayerState(state_type: int = 1, 
              profile: InteractionsProfile = InteractionsProfile(), 
              characteristics: PlayerCharacteristics = PlayerCharacteristics(), 
              dist: decimal = -1.0, 
              quality: decimal = -1.0,
              group: int[] = [],
              tasks: int[] = []): void

Members

Name: expected type	Default value	Description
(auto) creationTime: Time	current time	The time when the instance was created.
type: int*	1	Informs if this state corresponds to a simulated state or a real state.
profile: InteractionsProfile	InteractionsProfile()	The InteractionsProfile that was being promoted in the creation of this instance.
characteristics: PlayerCharacteristics	PlayerCharacteristics()	The characteristics of the player at the time that this instance was created.
(auxiliary) dist: decimal	-1.0	Used to store the distance between other profiled PlayerState.
(auxiliary) quality: decimal	-1.0	Used to store the quality of the state as measured by a QualityEvalAlg.
(auxiliary) group: int[]	[]	Used to store the learner's group at creation time.
(auxiliary) tasks: int[]	[]	Used to store the learner's assigned tasks at creation time.

*Although stateType is an integer and can be extended to include other categories, it is treated as a boolean with the values {0:Simulated, 1:Real}.

Functions

reset(): PlayerState

Description

It sets all attributes to their default values and then returns the updated caller instance.
