Deliverable specification 4.1 Improve the alternatives of the model function syntax

[l-goehring]

The alternative for the model function syntax shall be improved as follows: In method mcSimulation() the alternatives for the argument functionSyntax shall be implemented as follows:

• ="data.frameNames": as is; default.
• ="matrixNames": as is.
• ="plainNamesDeprecated": corresponds to current "globalNames" without varnames
  • undocumented, but tested, marked as deprecated.
  • The user shall be able to run a Monte Carlo simulation of this example model function:

    profit<-function(x){
      # Assign the variable names to the function environement:
      for(i in names(x)) assign(i, as.numeric(x[i]))
      revenue - costs
    }

• ="plainNames": the user does not have the responsibility for the assignment of variables in the model function:
  • documented incl. examples and tested
  • The user shall be able to run a Monte Carlo simulation of this example model function:

    profit<-function() revenue – costs

Dear @eikeluedeling,

this comment is for completeness and to practice collaboration on GitHub: I think, this issue is resolved with the initial release on CRAN, i.e. Version 1.101.1, available at http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/decisionSupport/.

Please close this issue if you agree.

Cheers, Lutz

Yes, this appears to be working well.
