public DynamicScoringPreferenceAggregator(WeightVector v)

Constructor with given weight vector

Parameters:

v - the weight vector

Method Detail

aggregate

public PreferenceOrder<T> aggregate(List<PreferenceOrder<T>> input)

This method aggregates the given preference orders according to the WeightVector used within construction

Specified by:

aggregate in interface DynamicPreferenceAggregator<T>

Parameters:

input - the array of preference orders to be aggregated

Returns:

the final result as a preference order

update

public PreferenceOrder<T> update(Update<T> update,
                                 List<PreferenceOrder<T>> input)
                          throws IndexOutOfBoundsException,
                                 NullPointerException

The update-method for dynamically changing the input for preference aggregation

Specified by:

update in interface DynamicPreferenceAggregator<T>

Parameters:

update - the update element containing the changes to be applied

input - some input

Returns:

a preference order

Throws:

IndexOutOfBoundsException

NullPointerException

update

public PreferenceOrder<T> update(UpdateStream<T> stream,
                                 List<PreferenceOrder<T>> input)

this method extends the update-functionality with input-streams consisting of Update-elements

Parameters:

stream - the input stream with the Update-elements

input - some input

Returns:

the newly aggregated preference order after all updates are applied
