@Deprecated
public class BasicGenerator
extends Object

An object to generate basic problem data. Generates deterministically. Some data generation require other data (indicated in the method contract), in this case the user has two choices. Either the required data has been previously set in this object (by direct setting or by generation of this data), and it is used, or it does not exist yet and then is generated on the fly by this object. If the required data has been set previously but is not in the appropriate number (e.g. 10 criteria have been set but now the user asks for only 9 scales), an error is thrown. This object remembers what it generates so one usage pattern is to call all the appropriate methods without taking care of the returned values and get the whole problem at once at the end.

Asking to generate some data that has been set already (either through direct setting or through generation) erases the previous content and replace it. Associated data is deleted as well, e.g. when re-generating the criteria, possibly existing scales associated with previously generated criteria are removed.

Methods return copies, modification of these returned objects do not impact this one.

Uses the criteria.

Parameters:

nbScales - to generate.

Returns:

not null.

genProfiles

public SortedSet<Alternative> genProfiles(int nbProfiles)

Deprecated.

Note that this replaces possibly existing categories in this object.

Parameters:

Returns:

not null.

genCategories

public ICatsAndProfs genCategories(int nbCategories)

Deprecated.

Uses the profiles. They must be not set or be in quantity nbCategories-1.

Parameters:

nbCategories - the number of categories to generate.

Returns:

not null.
