Interface ProbabilityRule

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractProbabilityRule, UniformReinforcement

public interface ProbabilityRule

The ProbabilityRule is used to calculate the probability of objects with respect to another where that probability can be updated over time. These probabilities and their associated objects will be mapped to a specified range in a probability map such that a random number draw can will return an object.

Method Summary

double	getProbability(java.lang.Object o) Returns the probability for the specified object.
RangeMap	makeProbabilityMap(RangeMap map) Recreates the probability map from the specified map, typically called after update changes the probability.
void	update(java.lang.Object o) Performs an update using the specified object.
void	update(java.lang.Object o, float amt) Performs an update using the specified object and specified amount.

Method Detail

getProbability

double getProbability(java.lang.Object o)

Returns the probability for the specified object.

update

void update(java.lang.Object o)

Performs an update using the specified object. The semantics of update are defined by implementing classes.

update

void update(java.lang.Object o,
            float amt)

Performs an update using the specified object and specified amount. The semantics of update are defined by implementing classes.

makeProbabilityMap

RangeMap makeProbabilityMap(RangeMap map)

Recreates the probability map from the specified map, typically called after update changes the probability.
