public class GeneralizedMeReasoner
extends AbstractPclReasoner

This class implements a generalized maximum entropy reasoner for probabilistic conditional logic as proposed in [Potyka, Thimm, 2014] which also works for inconsistent belief sets. It computes the generalized ME-distribution for the given belief set and answers queries with respect to this ME-distribution.

Constructor Detail

GeneralizedMeReasoner

public GeneralizedMeReasoner(int p)

Creates a new generalized ME-reasoner

Parameters:

p - the p-norm used

Method Detail

query

public java.lang.Double query(PclBeliefSet beliefbase,
                              PlFormula formula)

Description copied from interface: Reasoner

Queries the given belief base for the given formula.

Specified by:

query in interface Reasoner<java.lang.Double,PclBeliefSet,PlFormula>

Specified by:

query in class AbstractPclReasoner

Parameters:

beliefbase - a belief base

formula - a formula

Returns:

the answer to the query

getModels

public java.util.Collection<ProbabilityDistribution<PossibleWorld>> getModels(PclBeliefSet bbase)

Description copied from interface: ModelProvider

Returns a characterizing model of the given belief base

Specified by:

getModels in interface ModelProvider<ProbabilisticConditional,PclBeliefSet,ProbabilityDistribution<PossibleWorld>>

Specified by:

getModels in class AbstractPclReasoner

Parameters:

bbase - some belief base

Returns:

the (selected) models of the belief base

getModel

public ProbabilityDistribution<PossibleWorld> getModel(PclBeliefSet beliefbase)

Description copied from interface: ModelProvider

Returns a single (dedicated) model of the given belief base. If the implemented method allows for more than one dedicated model, the selection may be non-deterministic.

Specified by:

getModel in interface ModelProvider<ProbabilisticConditional,PclBeliefSet,ProbabilityDistribution<PossibleWorld>>

Specified by:

getModel in class AbstractPclReasoner

Parameters:

beliefbase - some belief base

Returns:

a selected model of the belief base.

getModel

public ProbabilityDistribution<PossibleWorld> getModel(PclBeliefSet bs,
                                                       PlSignature signature)

Computes the ME-distribution this reasoner bases on.

Parameters:

bs - the belief set

signature - the signature

Returns:

the ME-distribution this reasoner bases on.
