prepField: Prepare Functional Field

In Dustin-Wood/funfield: Functional Field Functions

Prepare Functional Field

Description

This function will create the layout for the functional field matrix, and help to maintain consistency between the field matrix and graphical elements of the model. It will also specify the type of each variable in the graph - especially whether it should be represented as an action, object, variable, choice point, or appraisal.

Variables in the functional field should be specified using a 'type_name' labeling convention. Please see the **as yet unwritten help file** for further details on preparing a matrix layout.

Usage

prepField(matLayout)

Arguments

matLayout

Specified variable type and variable name

Details

Current (main) variable types: d = decision or 'do' nodes (indicate initiating some sort of action) o = object nodes - should only take values of 1 or 0 c = choice point / chance nodes x = continuous variables a = appraisal nodes - indicate where a decision will be made through a maximization or threshold rule

Value

Various objects that will be useful for creating fields from a prespecified matrix
