Method Details

getInducedTheory

public DungTheory getInducedTheory(CausalKnowledgeBase cbase,
 Collection<PlFormula> observations,
 Map<Proposition, Boolean> interventions)

Description copied from class: AbstractArgumentationBasedCausalReasoner

Constructs a logical argumentation framework from a given causal knowledge base and some observations

Specified by:

getInducedTheory in class AbstractArgumentationBasedCausalReasoner

Parameters:

cbase - some causal knowledge base

observations - some logical formulae representing the observations of causal atoms

interventions - a set of interventions on causal atoms

Returns:

the argumentation framework induced from the causal knowledge base and the observations

query

public boolean query(CausalKnowledgeBase cbase,
 CounterfactualStatement statement)

Evaluates the given counterfactual statement against the causal knowledge base.

Parameters:

cbase - the causal knowledge base

statement - the counterfactual statement

Returns:

true if the statement holds, false otherwise

getModels

public Collection<CausalInterpretation> getModels(CausalKnowledgeBase cbase,
 Collection<PlFormula> observations,
 Map<Proposition, Boolean> interventions)

Description copied from class: AbstractCausalReasoner

Computes the set of all interpretations that can be concluded from the causal knowledge base and observations

Overrides:

getModels in class AbstractArgumentationBasedCausalReasoner

Parameters:

cbase - some causal knowledge base

observations - some logical formulae over atoms of the causal knowledge base

interventions - a set of interventions on causal atoms

Returns:

the set of interpretations that can be concluded from the causal knowledge base

getConclusions

public Collection<PlFormula> getConclusions(CausalKnowledgeBase cbase,
 Collection<PlFormula> observations,
 Map<Proposition, Boolean> interventions)

Description copied from class: AbstractCausalReasoner

Computes the set of all literal expressions that can be concluded from the causal knowledge base and observations

Overrides:

getConclusions in class AbstractCausalReasoner

Parameters:

cbase - some causal knowledge base

observations - some logical formulae over atoms of the causal knowledge base

interventions - a set of interventions on causal atoms

Returns:

the set of expressions that can be concluded from the given knowledge
