From an experiment object, run an experiment by creating an XML file of the experiment (save_to_gama) and by calling gama (call_gama) and appends the results to the object experiment inputted in the column output (one by simulation).

run_experiment(exp, hpc = 1, save = FALSE, path = NULL,
  display = FALSE, append = TRUE)

Arguments

exp

an object of class experiment.

hpc

number of threads used by GAMA to run the experiment.

save

save the outputs to disk or not, default = FALSE.

path

directory to save the outputs, default = NULL. If save = TRUE and path is not specified, current working directory is used to save the outputs.

display

output images are saved or not, default = FALSE.

append

append outputs to experiment, default = TRUE.

Details

We advice the user to validate their model in Gama Platform before using rgamar.

When the argument save is equal to TRUE, a folder with the name of the experiment of the object exp is created. The folder contains two folder: output containing the result in XML and input containing the model file associated in GAML and the XML associated to the object `exp` inputted in the function.

If the argument display is equal to TRUE, the argument save is automaticaly set to TRUE, a folder snapshot is add into the folder output, and contained the display output from GAMA.

If the object exp contains no obs_rates, the object exp is returned without calling gama. In this case, the column output is returned with NA.

Examples

#load experiment gaml_file <- system.file("models", "sir.gaml", package = "gamar") exp1 <- load_experiment("sir", gaml_file)
#> Loading experiment "sir" from file "sir.gaml"...
#>
#> Periods of observation ("obsrates") are converted into integers.
#>
#> Final time step ("tmax") is converted into integer.
#>
#> Seed is converted into numeric.
#>
#> Parameters' types are cast according to model definition

# run experiment out <- run_experiment(exp1, hpc = 2)
