public class MRandomNetworkGenerator<AgentType>
extends Object

MORe Based on repast.simphony.context.space.graph.RandomDensityGenerator: "Generates a random network with a specified approximate density. The network is created by looping over all i, j node pairs and deciding on the existence of a link between the nodes by comparing the value of a probability to a uniform random number. If the boolean allowLoops is false, no self loops (links from i to itself) will be permitted. If the boolean isSymmetric is true, all ties will be bidirectional (i -> j = j -> i). This is what is generally referred to in the network literature as "random" network - a class of networks which have been well studied analytically, but which are structurally quite unlike most empirically observed "social" networks." Uses MRandomPa.RND_STREAM_RANDOM_NETWORK_BUILDING instead of RS's RandomHelper. Uses the MoreLinkProbProvider if not null. Uses the given density parameter otherwise.
