Objects of class Tradeoff are used to store information for the Tradeoff plot. Like all S4 objects in Slick, slots in this object can be accessed and assigned using functions corresponding to slot name. See Tradeoff() and the the See Also section below.

Details

Objects of class Tradeoff are created with Tradeoff()

Multi-Language Support

Text with multi-language supported can be provided as a named list. Available languages:

  • en: English (default)

  • es: Spanish

  • fr: French

Note

Character strings in Code, Label, and Description must all be same length as the number of performance indicators (nPIs) in Value

Slots

Code

A short code for the Performance Indicators for this object. A character string length nPI or a named list for multi-language support. See Details

Label

A short label for the Performance Indicators for this object. Used to label axes on charts. Can be longer than Code but recommended to keep short as possible so it shows clearly in plots and tables. A character string length nPI or a named list for multi-language support. See Details

Description

A description for the Performance Indicators for this object. Can include Markdown, see Examples. A character string length nPI or a named list for multi-language support. See Details

Value

A 3 dimensional numeric array with the stochastic performance indicator values for operating model (OM), management procedure (MP), and performance indicator (PI). Dimensions: c(nOM, nMP, and nPI)

Preset

An optional named list for the preset buttons in the App(). The name of the list element will appear as a button in the App().

Examples

# Generate dummy values
nOM <- 2
nMP <- 4
nPI <- 4

values <- array(NA, dim=c(nOM, nMP, nPI))

pi_means <- runif(nPI, 5, 50)
for (om in 1:nOM) {
  for (mp in 1:nMP) {
    for (pi in 1:nPI) {
      values[om, mp, pi] <- rlnorm(1,log(pi_means[pi]), 0.4)
    }
  }
}

# Create and populate Object
tradeoff <- Tradeoff(Code=c('PI1', 'PI2', 'PI3', 'PI4'),
               Label=c('Performance Indicator 1',
                       'Performance Indicator 2',
                       'Performance Indicator 3',
                       'Performance Indicator 4'),
               Description = c('This is the description for PI 1',
                               'This is the description for PI 2',
                               'This is the description for PI 3',
                               'This is the description for PI 4'),
               Value=values)
