Direct Known Subclasses:

CollaborationGame

public class CoordinationGame

extends PureCoordinationMatrix

Return an instance of a coordination game. Note that our definition of coordination games allows for the values of different equilibria to be Pareto-ordered but not necessarily all the same. If it is desired that all equilibria yield the same payoff, the collaboration game should be used. Both the coordination game and the collaboration game are common payoff.

Method Detail

initialize

public void initialize()
                throws java.lang.Exception

Description copied from class: Game

Initializes using preset parameter values

Overrides:

initialize in class Game

Throws:

java.lang.Exception

checkParameters

protected void checkParameters()
                        throws java.lang.Exception

Description copied from class: ParameterizedObject

Checks if Parameter values are consistent. Must be implemented by every non-abstract subclass of ParameterizedObject.

Specified by:

checkParameters in class ParameterizedObject

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - if anything is wrong with the parameter values

randomizeParameters

public void randomizeParameters()

Description copied from class: ParameterizedObject

Sets values of any unset parameters randomly. Can and should be overridden in subclasses to handle a non-uniform distribution and for constraints on parameters.

Overrides:

randomizeParameters in class ParameterizedObject

getGameHelp

protected java.lang.String getGameHelp()

Description copied from class: Game

Return help screen information about the given game class.

Specified by:

getGameHelp in class Game

doGenerate

public void doGenerate()

Generate one payoff for every outcome, making sure that all of the equilibrium outcomes (those on the diagonal of the matrix) are higher than all of the non-equilibrium outcomes.

Specified by:

doGenerate in class ParameterizedObject
