Description

DOCU: Explain what _extends is in pC, singalizes major functions that do not take the normal inputs but user other functions' results to work. Runs a simple additive weighting function over matrices

Usage

overallPV_interface(trp.ValueMatrix, weight = NULL)

Arguments

trp.ValueMatrix	generally a list of matrices from different users, such as the output of trpValueMatrix. One matrix is accepted as input but it will be coerced to a list.
weight	generally a list of weights from different users, such as the output of getAttrWeights. One vector is also accepted, if there are more than one matrices, the function will try to recycle the weight vector.

Details

Auxiliary function: Takes a matrix and a numeric vector and returns the overall weighted values for each row of the matrix by means of a simple additiv weighting function.

The columns of the matrix should be different attributes of a product or setup and the weight vector should contain a numeric value for each attribute, so that ncol(trp.ValueMatrix)=length(weight). Both parameters are vectorised so you can enter a list of matrices in trp.ValueMatrix and a list of vector in weight. A matrix in the first argument or a vector in the second will be coerced into a list.

If some elements of the output list are called $<NA>, then try to avoid recycling by checking your weight input.

Value

a (list of) vector(s) of overall prospect values

Examples

#Runnable
overallPV_interface(trp.ValueMatrix = matrix(1:8, 2, 4), weight = c(0.25, 0.3, 0.15, 0.3))
overallPV_interface(matrix(1:32, 16, 2), c(0.72, 0.25))
overallPV_interface(list(m1 = matrix(1:32, 16, 2), m2 = matrix(1:14, 7, 2)),
                         weight = c(100, 200)) # weight will be recycled: used on both matrices
overallPV_interface(list(m1 = matrix(1:32, 16, 2), m2 = matrix(1:14, 7, 2)),
                         list(weight1 = c(100, 200), weight2 = c(20, 50)))

#Not Runnable
overallPV_interface(aLargeListOfMatrices, weight = c(0.1, 0.2, 0.62, 0.05, 0.03))
overallPV_interface(aLargeListOfMatrices, aLargeListOfVectors) #both arguments should have equal length
