Inputs

(For outputs, see below)

criteria

Information about criterias required to compute Promethee Tri: criteria id, criteria thresholds (indifference and preference) and criteria scales.

The input value should be a valid XMCDA document whose main tag is <criteria>.

alternatives

List of alternatives.

The input value should be a valid XMCDA document whose main tag is <alternatives>.

performanceTable

The performance of alternatives.

The input value should be a valid XMCDA document whose main tag is <performanceTable>.

criteriaValues

Weights of criteria to consider.

The input value should be a valid XMCDA document whose main tag is <criteriaValues>.

programParameters

First parameter specifies number of output clusters K.
Where K is integer greater than 1 and less than number of alternatives.

The input value should be a valid XMCDA document whose main tag is <methodParameters>. It must have the following form:

        <methodParameters>
    <parameter id="NumberOfClusters">
        <value>
            <integer>%1</integer>
        </value>
    </parameter>
</methodParameters>

where:

  • %1 is a parameter named “NumberOfClusters”. This is a int, and the value should conform to the following constraint: A integer value greater than 1 and lower than the number of alternatives. More formally, the constraint is:

    %1 > 1

Outputs

result

List of alternatives sets where each set representing one cluster.

The returned value is a XMCDA document whose main tag is <alternativesSets>.

messages

Messages or errors generated by this module.

The returned value is a XMCDA document whose main tag is <methodMessages>.
