approximateBatchInterval

This method returns a suggested batching interval based on the length of the replication and warm-up length for TimeWeighted variables.

This value is used in the calculation of the approximate batching interval if batching is turned on and there is a finite run length.

If the run length is finite, then the batch interval is approximated as follows:

t = length of replication - length of warmup n =
getTimeWeightedStartingNumberOfBatches()

batching interval = t/n

DEFAULT_NUM_TW_BATCHES = 512.0

Return

the recommended batching interval

Parameters

repLength

the length of the replication

warmUp

the warm-up period for the replication


This method returns a suggested batching interval based on the length of the run, the warm-up period, and default number of batches.

Return

a double representing an approximate batch interval
