/**
 * MAMirroredExponential accepts and generates bids above a threshold exponentially
 * decreasing as a function of time.
 * The threshold starts at the "upperThreshold" (defaulting to 1) and decreases
 * to the "lowerThreshold" (defaulting to 0) by scaling with 1-t^(1/e), where t is
 * the progress over time and e is the parameter "e" (defaulting to 1).
 * 
 * This is the default behaviour of the exampleparties provided by the geniusweb
 * framework;
 * Hardliner:          e = 0'
 * Boulware:           e = 0.2
 * Linear:             e = 1
 * TimeDependentParty: e = 1.2
 * Conceder:           e = 2
 * 
 * ' e = 0 would theoretically give the same result, but is not allowed for this agent,
 * as this would leave this agent with a static threshold of "upperThreshold" and
 * is therefore replaceable with the MAStatic agent.
