ImNormalization

java.lang.Object
- net.sf.tweety.logics.pl.postulates.ImPostulate
- - net.sf.tweety.logics.pl.postulates.ImNormalization

All Implemented Interfaces:

Postulate<PlFormula>
```
public class ImNormalization
extends ImPostulate
```
The "normalization" postulate for inconsistency measures: The inconsistency value is always in the unit interval [0,1], making it possible to compare inconsistency values for knowledge bases of different sizes.

Modifier Constructor Description

protected ImNormalization()
Protected constructor so one uses only the single instance ImPostulate.NORMALIZATION

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`java.lang.String`	`getName()`	The textual name of the postulate
`boolean`	`isApplicable(java.util.Collection<PlFormula> kb)`	Checks whether the given kb represents a non-trivial instance for this postulate, i.e., whether assumptions of this postulates are satisfied (evaluating an approach on a non-applicable instance always succeeds).
`boolean`	`isSatisfied(java.util.Collection<PlFormula> kb, BeliefSetInconsistencyMeasure<PlFormula> ev)`
