public class LearnInd

extends javax.swing.JApplet

implements java.awt.event.ActionListener

LearnInd.java
A java Applet-Application for simulating industries composed of NWFirms, GenFirms and XCSFirms.
NWFirms use a fixed R&D rule as in Nelson & Winter (1982).
GenFirms use a Genetic Algorithm to adjust their RD/Profit ratio to industry conditions.
XCSFirms use a XCS for learning.
When used as an application, LearnInd can save data on files xxx.*
where xxx is the radical fixed in the initialisation panel.

Method Detail

LearnInd

public void LearnInd()

An empty constructor. Created for compatibility reasons.

init

public void init()

Initializes the interface.

Overrides:

init in class java.applet.Applet

actionPerformed

public void actionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent e)

The main part of the application.
Following the push of the Compute Button it reads the provided values
of the parameters and starts the simulation.
If the button Stop is pushed, it closes all open streams and closes
the application.

Specified by:

actionPerformed in interface java.awt.event.ActionListener

Parameters:

e - Determines the button used in Cadre

See Also:

Cadre

initEnv

public void initEnv()

Initializes the ENV table for computing
the global environment that will be used by the XCSFirms

computeEnv

public void computeEnv()

Computes the Environment string to pass to XCSFirms' R&D rates.

IndSupply

public double IndSupply()

Computes the total supply of the industry and the shares of each type of firms in this supply

IndProd

public void IndProd()

Computes the average and maximal productivities in the industry.
The average productivity is used in the measure of the tecnological
performance of industries.
The maximal productivity conditions the imitation of firms

See Also:
