Constructor Detail

LinearExciteStrategy

public LinearExciteStrategy()

Creates a new instance of LinearCurve. Values for slope and intercept are set to the default ones.

Method Detail

init

public void init()

If this method is overridden, this init() must be called first! i.e. super.init(); Will set parameters with the following names:

m slope of the excite function
If any parameter is not specified its default value will be used.

Specified by:

init in interface Initializable

Overrides:

init in class InitializableImpl

excite

public double excite(double currentActivation,
                     double excitation,
                     java.lang.Object... params)

Excites the current activation according to some internal excite function.

Specified by:

excite in interface ExciteStrategy

Parameters:

currentActivation - activation of the entity before excite.

excitation - amount of activation to adds

params - optionally accepts 1 double parameter specifying the slope of excitation and activations.

Returns:

new activation amount

                     double excitation,
                     java.util.Map<java.lang.String,?> params)

Excites the current activation according to some internal excite function.

Specified by:

excite in interface ExciteStrategy

Parameters:

currentActivation - activation of the entity before excite.

excitation - amount of activation to adds

params - optionally accepts 1 parameter specifying the slope of excitation and activations.

Returns:

new activation amount
