The simulation classes
The simulation classes consist of three parts. The Simulation class is the base class, and two classes, DiscreteSimulation and ContinuousSimulation, are derived from the base class. We assume that the definitions for these classes are kept in a separate file, simulationS3.R.
The base class, Simulation, is used to manage the parameters and results for a single simulation. The data includes the final time used in the simulation and accessor methods are defined for the data:
########################Create the base simulation class
##
## This is used to represent a single simulation
Simulation <- function()
{
## Create the list used to represent an
## object for this class
me = list(
simulationResults = matrix(0)
)
## Set the name for the class
class(me) <- append(class(me),"Simulation")
return(me)
}# Set the data values that are the result of a simulation.
setSimulation <- function...
