CustomerModelAccessor (Power TAC server interface 1.8.1 API)

```
public interface CustomerModelAccessor
```
Defines an interface for access to customer model details that support tariff evaluation. This includes generation of per-tariff customer usage/production profiles. Required by TariffEvaluationHelper. Profiles can be for a full day, a full week, or whatever time period makes sense for the customer. Usage may be for a single individual customer or for the entire population. Results are normalized by the tariff evaluation process, so the only requirement is that all profiles for a given customer use the same time period (and the same weather), and the same population.

- Method Detail
  - getCustomerInfo
```
org.powertac.common.CustomerInfo getCustomerInfo()
```
    Returns the CustomerInfo instance for this customer model.
  - getCapacityProfile
```
CapacityProfile getCapacityProfile(org.powertac.common.Tariff tariff)
```
    Returns a capacity profile for the given tariff. This must represent the usage of a single individual in a population model over some model-specific time period.
  - getBrokerSwitchFactor
```
double getBrokerSwitchFactor(boolean isSuperseding)
```
    Returns a [0,1] value representing the inconvenience of switching brokers. The value may depend on whether the current subscription is being switched to a superseding tariff as a result of revocation.
  - getTariffChoiceSample
```
double getTariffChoiceSample()
```
    Returns a [0,1] random value used to make choices using the logit choice model.
  - getInertiaSample
```
double getInertiaSample()
```
    Returns a [0,1] random value used to choose whether individual customers evaluate tariffs or not.
  - getShiftingInconvenienceFactor
```
double getShiftingInconvenienceFactor(org.powertac.common.Tariff tariff)
```
    Returns a [0,1] value representing the inconvenience of dealing with curtailment in exchange for a lower price.
