knotions: Notions of Knowledge Structures or Bases

Description

Computes notions of knowledge structures or bases.

Usage

knotions(x)

Value

A set of sets, each representing one notion of the knowledge structure.

Arguments

x

An R object of class kstructure or kbase.

Details

A notion is a set of items always jointly contained in some knowledge states. Consequently, these items carry the same information and may therefore be considered equivalent. A knowledge structure where each notion contains only one item is considered discriminative.
