All Implemented Interfaces:

ChangeOperator

public class PAUpdateOperator
extends AbstractPAChangeOperator

This operator implements an update of some probabilistic assessment of arguments upon the observation of an argumentation theory. More specifically, for a given probabilistic semantics S, some norm N, a function f, and a partial probability assignment PPA, it computes the S-prob-function that 1.) has minimal N-distance to PPA-compliant prob'functions and 2.) maximizes function f.
