actionrwd.demand

actionrwd.demand(..) 🡒 ranvar, process

The function returns a ranvar that represents the probabilistic cumulative demand, period per period, as obtained from the underlying demand generator used for the action reward function. The function actionrwd.demand() is intended as a support function for actionrwd.reward() to visualize the demand trajectories internally used by the action reward function.

table P = extend.range(20)

P.D = actionrwd.demand(
  TimeIndex: P.N
  BaseLine: P.5
  Dispersion: 1.0
  Alpha: 0.3)

  mean(P.D) as "Avg"
  quantile(P.D, 0.10) as "Q05" { color: blue }
