Type Parameters:

Solution_ - the solution type, the class with the PlanningSolution annotation

T - the selection type

All Known Implementing Classes:

FairSelectorProbabilityWeightFactory, FixedSelectorProbabilityWeightFactory
```
public interface SelectionProbabilityWeightFactory<Solution_,T>
```
Create a probabilityWeight for a selection (which is a PlanningEntity, a planningValue, a Move or a Selector). A probabilityWeight represents the random chance that a selection will be selected. Some use cases benefit from focusing moves more actively on specific selections.
