Method Details

getSupported

BipolarEntity getSupported()

Returns the argument that is supported by the supporter.

This method retrieves the argument that is being supported by the current supporter argument.

Returns:

the supported argument

getSupporter

BipolarEntity getSupporter()

Returns the argument that provides support to another argument.

This method retrieves the argument that is providing support to the current supported argument.

Returns:

the supporter argument

setConditionality

void setConditionality(double c)

Sets the conditionality of the support, represented by a probability value.

The conditionality or strength of the support is represented by a conditional probability value, which reflects how strongly the supporter influences the supported argument.

Parameters:

c - the conditional probability of the support

getConditionalProbability

double getConditionalProbability()

Returns the conditional probability of the support.

This method retrieves the conditional probability associated with the support, indicating the strength of the support.

Returns:

the conditional probability of the support

toString

String toString()

Returns a string representation of the support relation.

This method provides a textual description of the support relation, including information about the supporter, the supported argument, and the conditional probability.

Overrides:

toString in class Object

Returns:

a string representation of the support relation
