user: User model

In GMSE: Generalised Management Strategy Evaluation Simulator

User model

Description

A model of user decisions for a single time step. These decisions result in stakeholder actions that can potentially affect resources and the landscape in a GMSE simulation.

Usage

user(
  RESOURCES = NULL,
  AGENTS = NULL,
  LAND = NULL,
  PARAS = NULL,
  COST = NULL,
  ACTION = NULL,
  INTERACT = NULL,
  inter_tabl = NULL,
  model = "IBM"
)

Arguments

RESOURCES	The resources array produced by the resource function within GMSE
AGENTS	The array of agents produced in the main gmse() function
LAND	The landscape array on which interactions between resources and agents occur
PARAS	The vector of parameters that hold global and dynamic parameter values used by GMSE
COST	A three dimensional array of cost values for agent (manager and stakeholder) actions
ACTION	ACTION A three dimensional array of agent (manager and stakeholder) actions
INTERACT	An interaction (Jacobian) matrix of resources & landscape layer effects
inter_tabl	Interaction table indexing types with the INTERACT matrix
model	The type of model being applied (Currently only individual-based – i.e., 'agent-based' – models are allowed)

Value

The user function outputs an R list that includes five separate arrays, including (1) an new RESOURCES array, (2) a new AGENTS array, (3) a new LAND array, (4) a new ACTIONS array, and a new (5) COST array, each of which might be affected by the user function. The new arrays can then be read back into the broader GMSE function, thereby affecting the input into the resource, observation, and management models.

Examples

## Not run: 
USERS <- user(RESOURCES = RESOURCES, AGENTS = AGENTS, LAND = LANDSCAPE_r,
PARAS = paras, COST = COST, ACTION = ACTION, INTERACT = Jacobian, 
inter_tabl = interaction_tabl, model = "IBM");

## End(Not run)
