BalkingStrategy

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable
```
public enum BalkingStrategy
 implements Serializable
                    
```
Constants for specifying balking strategies (customer refusal to join queue). Balking occurs when a customer arrives at a queue but decides not to join. The decision can be based on: - QUEUE_LENGTH: Balking probability depends on current queue length - EXPECTED_WAIT: Balking probability depends on expected waiting time - COMBINED: Both conditions are evaluated (OR logic - balk if either triggers) ID values match MATLAB BalkingStrategy constants.

Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constants
Enum Constant	Description
`QUEUE_LENGTH`	Balking based on queue length. Uses thresholds mapping queue length ranges to balking probabilities. Example: balk with 50% probability when queue length is between 5-10.
`EXPECTED_WAIT`	Balking based on expected waiting time. Customer estimates waiting time and balks if it exceeds their patience threshold. Requires knowledge of service rate for estimation.
`COMBINED`	Combined balking strategy. Customer balks if EITHER the queue-length threshold OR expected-wait condition triggers. Provides flexibility for complex balking behaviors.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`static BalkingStrategy`	`fromID(int id)`	Convert numeric ID to BalkingStrategy enum value.
`static String`	`toText(BalkingStrategy strategy)`	Convert BalkingStrategy to human-readable text.
`static Array<BalkingStrategy>`	`values()`	Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they're declared.
`static BalkingStrategy`	`valueOf(String name)`	Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name.
`int`	`getID()`	Get the numeric ID for this balking strategy.

  - fromID
```
 static BalkingStrategy fromID(int id)
```
    Convert numeric ID to BalkingStrategy enum value.
    
    Parameters:
    
    id - numeric balking strategy ID
    
    Returns:
    
    corresponding BalkingStrategy enum value
  - toText
```
 static String toText(BalkingStrategy strategy)
```
    Convert BalkingStrategy to human-readable text.
    
    Parameters:
    
    strategy - the balking strategy
    
    Returns:
    
    text description
  - values
```
 static Array<BalkingStrategy> values()
```
    Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they're declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants.
    
    Returns:
    
    an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they're declared
  - valueOf
```
 static BalkingStrategy valueOf(String name)
```
    Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
    
    Returns:
    
    the enum constant with the specified name
  - getID
```
 int getID()
```
    Get the numeric ID for this balking strategy. IDs match MATLAB BalkingStrategy constants.
    
    Returns:
    
    numeric ID
