Detailed Description

template<unsigned DIM>
class RandomCellKiller< DIM >

A cell killer that randomly kills cells based on the user set probability.

The probability passed into the constructor will be the probability of any cell dying whenever TestAndLabelCellsForApoptosis() is called.

Note this does take into account timesteps - the input probability is the probability that in an hour's worth of trying, the cell killer will have successfully killed a given cell. In the method TestAndLabelSingleCellForApoptosis() this probability is used to calculate the probability that the cell is killed at a given time step.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<unsigned DIM>

RandomCellKiller< DIM >::RandomCellKiller	(	AbstractCellPopulation< DIM > *	pCellPopulation,
		double	probabilityOfDeathInAnHour
	)			[inline]

Default constructor.

Parameters:

	pCellPopulation	pointer to the cell population
	probabilityOfDeathInAnHour	probability that a cell is labelled for apoptosis in one hour's worth of trying

Member Function Documentation

template<unsigned DIM>

template<class Archive>

void RandomCellKiller< DIM >::serialize	(	Archive &	archive,
		const unsigned int	version
	)			[inline, private]

Archive the object and its member variables.

Serialization of singleton objects must be done with care. Before the object is serialized via a pointer, it *MUST* be serialized directly, or an assertion will trip when a second instance of the class is created on de-serialization.

Parameters:

	archive	the archive
	version	the current version of this class

Reimplemented from AbstractCellKiller< DIM >.
