set_attribute: Set Attributes

In Enchufa2/simmer: Discrete-Event Simulation for R

Set Attributes

Description

Activity for modifying attributes. Attributes defined with set_attribute are per arrival, meaning that each arrival has its own set of attributes, not visible by any other one. On the other hand, attributes defined with set_global are shared by all the arrivals in the simulation.

Usage

set_attribute(.trj, keys, values, mod = c(NA, "+", "*"), init = 0, ...,
  tag)

set_global(.trj, keys, values, mod = c(NA, "+", "*"), init = 0, ..., tag)

Arguments

.trj	the trajectory object.
keys	the attribute name(s), or a callable object (a function) which must return attribute name(s).
values	numeric value(s) to set, or a callable object (a function) which must return numeric value(s).
mod	if set, values modify the attributes rather than substituting them.
init	initial value, applied if mod is set and the attribute was not previously initialised. Useful for counters or indexes.
...	unused.
tag	activity tag name to perform named rollbacks (see rollback) or just to better identify your activities.

Details

Attribute monitoring is disabled by default. To enable it, set mon=2 in the corresponding source (see, e.g., add_generator). Then, the evolution of the attributes during the simulation can be retrieved with get_mon_attributes. Global attributes are reported as unnamed key/value pairs.

Value

Returns the trajectory object.

Examples

env <- simmer()

traj <- trajectory() %>%

  # simple assignment
  set_attribute("my_key", 123) %>%
  set_global("global_key", 321) %>%

  # more than one assignment at once
  set_attribute(c("my_key", "other_key"), c(5, 64)) %>%

  # increment
  set_attribute("my_key", 1, mod="+") %>%

  # assignment using a function
  set_attribute("independent_key", function() runif(1)) %>%

  # assignment dependent on another attribute
  set_attribute("dependent_key", function()
    ifelse(get_attribute(env, "my_key") <= 0.5, 1, 0))

env %>%
  add_generator("dummy", traj, at(3), mon=2) %>%
  run() %>%
  get_mon_attributes()
