Detailed Description

This is a fake child class.

Since Bandit is an abstract class, it can't be instantiated directly. So it's methods can't be called, and therefore tested. So create a fake class that defines the required methods in the simplist terms and use that instead.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

__init__()

bandit.tests.test_base_bandit.FakeBandit.__init__	(		self,
			k
	)

Initialize the object with a set number of arms.

Parameters

k	The number of arms this bandit should have. This must be an integer greater than zero.

Exceptions

ValueError

if k is not an integer greater than zero.

Member Function Documentation

select()

bandit.tests.test_base_bandit.FakeBandit.select	(		self,
			index
	)

The method to select one of the arms of the bandit.

When implemented, this method should return the reward obtained when selecting the given arm index.

Parameters

index

Some sort of index representation to select which arms to get rewards from. Typically, this will be a single integer or some sort of list, array, etc. of integers.

trueValues()

bandit.tests.test_base_bandit.FakeBandit.trueValues

(

self

)

Return the true reward values of the bandit.

When implemented, this should provide the user with the complete truth of the bandit's state at the moment called. It is up to the implementation what exact information this is.
