public class FixedRateMerit
extends EvenlySpacedMerit

A flavour of the EvenlySpacedMerit. A fixed rate merit always schedules the next observation to the first (succesful) observation. This means that, in the long run, the frequency of the observations will be equal to the reciprocal of the stated period.

Constructor Detail

FixedRateMerit

public FixedRateMerit(Map prop)

Constructs a new fixed-delay merit.

Method Detail

getT0

public Date getT0(TargetDefinition target)

Returns the date of the relevant last observation. In a fixed-rate scheme this is the date of the first obsevation plus the period times the number of successful observations minus one.

Specified by:

getT0 in class EvenlySpacedMerit

Returns:

null if the target is not history aware or was never observed.
