All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Cloneable, State

public class MonkeyObservableState

extends AbstractState

This class serves as interface between complete ExperimentState and Monkey agents. Monkeys can only observed the stimulis signal and juice delivery (or tasting) signal. Because this class only serves as observable state, it does not implement getStates or getObservableStates methods. The class also provides the agent with a fixed list of action (a single NullAction action since no action are required here).

Constructor Summary

MonkeyObservableState(ExperimentState state)
Construct the state that the monkey observes from an experimental state.

Method Summary

Action[]	getActions() Returns the list of available action from the current state.
State[]	getNextStates(Action a) Returns the list state following the current state under a given action.
State[]	getObservableStates() Returns the list state of observable states for the agents.
double	getRewardSignal() Reward (juice) signal.
double	getStimulusSignal() Stimulus signal.
DataSet	toDataSet() Similar to the toString method, but return state content in the form of a DataSet.
