Constructor Details

BinarySupport

public BinarySupport(BArgument supporter,
 BArgument supported)

Default constructor; initializes the two arguments used in this support relation

Parameters:

supporter - the supporting argument

supported - the supported argument

Method Details

getSupported

public BArgument getSupported()

returns the supported argument of this support relation.

Specified by:

getSupported in interface Support

Returns:

the supported argument of this support relation.

getSupporter

public BArgument getSupporter()

returns the supporting argument of this support relation.

Specified by:

getSupporter in interface Support

Returns:

the supporting argument of this support relation.

getSignature

public Signature getSignature()

Description copied from interface: Formula

Returns the signature of the language of this formula.

Specified by:

getSignature in interface Formula

Returns:

the signature of the language of this formula.

toString

public String toString()

Description copied from interface: Support

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.

Specified by:

toString in interface Support

Overrides:

toString in class DirectedEdge<BArgument>

Returns:

a string representation of the support relation

equals

public boolean equals(Object o)

Overrides:

equals in class Edge<BArgument>

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class Edge<BArgument>

getLdoFormula

public LdoFormula getLdoFormula()

Description copied from interface: DungEntity

Returns a logical representation of this entity in LDO (Logic of dialectical outcomes, cf. [Hunter, Thimm, 2015])

Specified by:

getLdoFormula in interface DungEntity

Returns:

the logical formula of this entity.

contains

public boolean contains(Object o)

Description copied from interface: BipolarEntity

Checks if this entity contains the specified object.

Specified by:

contains in interface BipolarEntity

Parameters:

o - the object to check for containment, typically a BArgument

Returns:

true if the object is contained within this entity, false otherwise

iterator

public Iterator<BArgument> iterator()

Specified by:

iterator in interface Iterable<BArgument>

setConditionality

public void setConditionality(double c)

Description copied from interface: Support

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.

Specified by:

setConditionality in interface Support

Parameters:

c - the conditional probability of the support

getConditionalProbability

public double getConditionalProbability()

Description copied from interface: Support

Returns the conditional probability of the support.

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

Specified by:

getConditionalProbability in interface Support

Returns:

the conditional probability of the support
