latencyDistribution attribute

Member of

<monkey>

Syntax

/ latencyDistribution = distribution(...)

or

/ latencyDistribution = constant(mean)

or

/ latencyDistribution = normal(mean, sd)

or

/ latencyDistribution = uniform(min, max)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
distribution	latencydistributionenum	Value Description constant A single response time. normal Select response times from a Gaussian distribution. uniform Select response times from a uniform distribution.
mean	number	The expected average in milliseconds of the monkey's response latencies.
sd	number	The expected standard deviation in milliseconds of the monkey's response latencies.
min	number	The minimum possible latency in milliseconds for the monkey's response.
max	number	The maximum possible latency in milliseconds for the monkey's response.

Remarks

By default, the monkey uses a normal distribution, the mean and standard deviation of which vary depending upon whether a response deadline or window is used.

Examples

The following specifies that the monkey's latencies are randomly selected from a normal distibution, with a mean of 200 milliseconds and standard deviation of 10. Each response is 95% likely to be correct.

<monkey>
/ latencydistribution = normal(200, 10)
/ percentCorrect = 95
</monkey>

The following specifies that the monkey's latencies are randomly selected from a uniform distribution ranging from 0 to 1000 milliseconds. Each response is 50% likely to be correct.

<monkey>
/ latencydistribution = uniform(0, 1000)
/ percentCorrect = 50
</monkey>
