//! PCFR+ (Predictive CFR+) implementation.
//!
//! This module provides [`PcfrPlusRegretMatcher`], which uses predictions
//! of future regrets to compute the next strategy.

use crate::regret_minimizer::{self, RegretMinimizer};

/// A regret matcher implementing PCFR+ (Predictive CFR+).
///
/// PCFR+ extends CFR+ by using predictions of future regrets when
/// computing the next strategy. This can lead to faster convergence
/// by anticipating the effect of actions.
///
/// Update rules:
/// - Regret: `R^t = [R^{t-1} + r^t]^+`
/// - Predicted regret: `R_tilde^{t+1} = [R^t + v^{t+1}]^+`
/// - Strategy: `x^{t+1} = R_tilde^{t+1} / ||R_tilde^{t+1}||_1`
/// - Cumulative: `X^t = X^{t-1} + t^2 * x^t` (quadratic weighting)
