Event class reference¶

class Event¶

The Event class, defined within the MDP class of the DynaPlex framework, is integral to representing various events that occur in a Markov Decision Process. It encapsulates the characteristics and data of an event, impacting the state transitions within the MDP.

The Event class in this implementation is an alias for a primitive data type (e.g., int64_t), but it can be customized to a more complex struct or class if needed. This flexibility allows for the representation of a wide range of events, from simple occurrences to complex scenarios with multiple attributes.

Key Characteristics

• The Event class is used to model the occurrences that affect the state of the MDP.

• It can be a primitive type or a more complex data structure, depending on the needs of the specific MDP model.

• Events are used in conjunction with state and action classes to model the dynamics of the MDP.

Usage in MDP

In the MDP class, the Event type is used primarily in functions like ModifyStateWithEvent and GetEvent, where it plays a crucial role in defining how the state of the MDP changes in response to various occurrences.

Example Usage

// Example of defining an Event in MDP
using Event = int64_t;  // Event defined as an alias for int64_t
