This PR makes a few small additions and changes to the Monte Carlo simulation functionality.
It introduces a new class,
MonteCarloSimulator
, which is a lot like theAgentTypeMonteCarloSimulator
, except that this doesn't make any assumptions about birth/mortality, and it doesn't have the 'read_shocks" functionality. This is a more stripped down version of what's already there.It makes a small change so that reward variables (i.e.
u
) get computed in simulations, and added into thehistory
. This is useful when trying to compare the outcomes of agents across different models and parameterizatiosn.The
apply_fun_to_vals
function compartmentalizes a coding pattern used widely in the Monte Carlo Simulator code. I didn't work it through the library yet since it replaces just one line of code with something arguably more readable.
