Experiment

Description

This class is an abstraction for an experiment, e.g. in a simulation. An experiment consists of a ExperimentProtocol, ExperimentDesign, ExperimentSubject and ExperimentResult.

Objects from the Class

A virtual Class: No objects may be created from it.

Slots

protocol:

Object of empty virtual class ExperimentProtocol, how the experiment was or is to be performed.

design:

Object of empty virtual class ExperimentDesign, the design of the experiment.

subject:

Object of empty virtual class ExperimentSubject, the object being observed by the experiment.

result:

Object of empty virtual class ExperimentResult, the result of the experiment.
