race.info: Provide information on the race

In race: Racing methods for the selection of the best

Description

The function

race.info(data)

is to be provided by the user. It's definition has to be given (together with the one of race.wrapper) in a file, and the name of such file has to be passed as first argument to the function race.

Arguments

data	It is the object of type list (possibly empty) returned by race.init, if the latter is defined by the user.

Value

The function race.info is expected to return a list including the following components:

race.name	The name of the race for documentation purposes.
no.candidates	The number of candidates in the race.
no.tasks	Number of tasks available for testing.
no.subtasks	Each task might consists of no.subtasks subtasks. If the element no.subtasks is not included in the list, it is assumed that each task is indeed atomic, that is, no.subtasks=1. no.subtasks may also be a vector of length no.tasks. In this case, the i-th task consists of no.subtasks[i] subtasks.
extra	A character string providing extra information on the race for documentation purposes. It can be a long string and the user is not required to introduce newline characters: it will be automatically formatted for pretty-printing.
