Method Detail

query

public java.lang.Double query(ProbabilisticArgumentationFramework beliefbase,
                              Argument formula)

Description copied from interface: Reasoner

Queries the given belief base for the given formula.

Specified by:

query in interface Reasoner<java.lang.Double,ProbabilisticArgumentationFramework,Argument>

Parameters:

beliefbase - a belief base

formula - a formula

Returns:

the answer to the query

query

public abstract java.lang.Double query(ProbabilisticArgumentationFramework beliefbase,
                                       Argument formula,
                                       InferenceMode inferenceMode)

Queries the given PAF for the given argument using the given inference type.

Parameters:

beliefbase - an PAF

formula - a single argument

inferenceMode - either InferenceMode.SKEPTICAL or InferenceMode.CREDULOUS

Returns:

probability of the argument

query

public abstract java.lang.Double query(ProbabilisticArgumentationFramework paf,
                                       Extension ext)

Estimates the probability that the given set of arguments is an extension

Parameters:

paf - a PAF

ext - some set of arguments

Returns:

the estimated probability of the given set to be an extension
