#1704/#1705 weighted decision selection #1718

Open sl-slaing opened 3 years ago

sl-slaing commented 3 years ago

Description

When a profile contains a decision (if constraint) which refers to weighted set values, currently the generator doesn't take the weightings into account.

Changes

Update the decision selection logic to apportion a weighting to each branch of a decision
Use this weighting when randomly selecting a value for the decision, so that values are projected as per their weightings
