In kalden/spartan: Simulation Parameter Analysis R Toolkit ApplicatioN: 'spartan'

Description Usage Arguments

This generates a specified number of simulation parameters sets using latin-hypercube sampling. These are then processed into Netlogo XML experiment files, one for each set of parameters.

lhc_generate_lhc_sample_netlogo(FILEPATH, PARAMETERS, PARAMVALS,
  NUMSAMPLES, ALGORITHM, EXPERIMENT_REPETITIONS, RUN_METRICS_EVERYSTEP,
  NETLOGO_SETUP_FUNCTION, NETLOGO_RUN_FUNCTION, MEASURES)

`FILEPATH`	Directory where the parameter samples are to be stored
`PARAMETERS`	Array containing the names of the parameters of which parameter samples will be generated
`PARAMVALS`	Array containing either the parameter value (if not of interest in the analysis), or range under which this is being explored (stated as as string e.g. "[5,50]" for a range of 5-50.
`NUMSAMPLES`	The number of parameter subsets to be generated in the LHC design
`ALGORITHM`	Choice of algorithm to use to generate the hypercube. Can be set to either 'normal' or 'optimum'. Beware optimum can take a long time to generate an optimised parameter set (more than 24 hours in some circumstances).
`EXPERIMENT_REPETITIONS`	The number of times Netlogo should repeat the experiment for each set of parameter values.
`RUN_METRICS_EVERYSTEP`	Boolean stating whether Netlogo should produce output for each timestep.
`NETLOGO_SETUP_FUNCTION`	The name of the function in Netlogo that sets up the simulation. Commonly is named setup.
`NETLOGO_RUN_FUNCTION`	The name of the function in Netlogo that starts the simulation. Commonly named go.
`MEASURES`	Array containing the names of the Netlogo output measures which are used to analyse the simulation.
