SignedCulpabilityMeasure

All Superinterfaces:

CulpabilityMeasure<ProbabilisticConditional,PclBeliefSet>

All Known Implementing Classes:

```
public interface SignedCulpabilityMeasure
extends CulpabilityMeasure<ProbabilisticConditional,PclBeliefSet>
```
Classes implementing this interface represent signed culpability measures, i.e. measures that assign to each conditional of a conditional belief base a degree of responsibility for causing an inconsistency and additionally a sign of this culpability, i.e. a direction to which this conditional deviates.

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`java.lang.Double`	`culpabilityMeasure(PclBeliefSet beliefSet, ProbabilisticConditional conditional)`	Returns the degree of responsibility of the given formula to cause inconsistency in the given belief set (NOTE: the formula should be in the given belief set).
`java.lang.Double`	`sign(PclBeliefSet beliefSet, ProbabilisticConditional conditional)`	Determines the sign of the culpability of the given conditional in the given belief set, i.e.

    Description copied from interface: CulpabilityMeasure
    
    Returns the degree of responsibility of the given formula to cause inconsistency in the given belief set (NOTE: the formula should be in the given belief set).
    
    Specified by:
    
    culpabilityMeasure in interface CulpabilityMeasure<ProbabilisticConditional,PclBeliefSet>
    
    Parameters:
    
    beliefSet - a belief set.
    
    conditional - a formula
    
    Returns:
    
    a Double indicating the degree of inconsistency (NOTE: if the given formula does not appear in the given belief set the degree is defined to be zero).
  - sign
```
java.lang.Double sign(PclBeliefSet beliefSet,
                      ProbabilisticConditional conditional)
```
    Determines the sign of the culpability of the given conditional in the given belief set, i.e. one of {-1,0,1}.
    
    Parameters:
    
    beliefSet - a belief set
    
    conditional - a conditional
    
    Returns:
    
    one of {-1,0,1}
