public class SuccessorMerit
extends AfterPickMerit

A successor merit guarantees a merit that is only higher then zero if another target KEY_SUCCEED has been successfully observed for at least KEY_SUCCESSCOUNT times. The zero-time returned is the pick-time of the KEY_SUCCEED's KEY_SUCCESSCOUNT successful observation.

Constructor Detail

SuccessorMerit

public SuccessorMerit(Map prop)

Constructs a new successor merit. This merit returns zero until the requested number of observations has been conducted on the precursor target named after KEY_SUCCEED.

Method Detail

checkForStartTime

protected double checkForStartTime(TargetDefinition ignore,
                                   Collection others,
                                   ParameterClustering dummy)

Checks if we can deduce a start-time from the targets handed over. A successor merit roams through the list of targets, finds the one with a matching name to KEY_SUCCEED and checks if it has enough successful observations in it. Only then, the pick time of the KEY_SUCCESSCOUNT observation is returned, zero otherwise.
