Class WeightedComponentCountInconsistencyMeasure<T extends DungTheory>

java.lang.Object

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

Type Parameters:

T - the type of Dung theories used, extending DungTheory

All Implemented Interfaces:

InconsistencyMeasure<T>

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

Implements an inconsistency measure for Dung's argumentation frameworks based on the weighted count of connected components within the framework. This measure calculates inconsistency by evaluating the size of each component, assuming that larger isolated groups (components) in the argumentation framework contribute more significantly to its inconsistency. The inconsistency score is the sum of the squares of the sizes of the components, minus one for each component.

Method Details

inconsistencyMeasure

public Double inconsistencyMeasure(T argumentationFramework)

Calculates the inconsistency measure of the given Dung theory argumentation framework based on the weighted count of its components. Each component contributes to the inconsistency score based on the square of its size minus one. This method aggregates the scores from all components to produce a final measure 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, where larger numbers indicate greater inconsistency
