Class InSumInconsistencyMeasure<T extends DungTheory>

java.lang.Object

org.tweetyproject.arg.dung.analysis.InSumInconsistencyMeasure<T>

Type Parameters:

T - the type of Dung theories used, extending the DungTheory class

All Implemented Interfaces:

InconsistencyMeasure<T>

public class InSumInconsistencyMeasure<T extends DungTheory>
extends Object
implements InconsistencyMeasure<T>

This class implements an inconsistency measure for Dung's argumentation frameworks based on the number of attacks within the framework. The inconsistency measure quantifies how much conflict is present within the argumentation framework, assuming that more attacks indicate higher inconsistency. It extends the generic InconsistencyMeasure interface to provide this functionality for any Dung theory.

public InSumInconsistencyMeasure()

Method Details

inconsistencyMeasure

public Double inconsistencyMeasure(T argumentationFramework)

Calculates the inconsistency measure of the given Dung theory argumentation framework. The measure is calculated as the number of attack relations present in the framework, under the assumption that more attacks indicate a higher level of inconsistency.

Specified by:

inconsistencyMeasure in interface InconsistencyMeasure<T extends DungTheory>

Parameters:

argumentationFramework - the Dung theory argumentation framework to measure for inconsistency

Returns:

Double the calculated inconsistency measure based on the number of attacks
