criteria

Criteria to consider

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

alternatives

Alternatives to consider

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

profiles (optional)

Profiles to consider

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

weights

Weights of each criterion

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

discordance

Discordance real-value relation (for each criterion; comparing with alternatives or profiles)

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

method_parameters

A set of parameters provided to tune up the module’s operation

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

<programParameters>

<parameter name=”comparison_with”>

<values>

<value>

<label>%1</label>

</value>

</values>

</parameter>

</programParameters>

where:

• %1 is a parameter named “comparison_with”. It can have the following values:

  • alternatives: alternatives vs alternatives
  • profiles: alternatives vs boundary profiles
  • profiles: alternatives vs central (characteristic) profiles

  The default value is item0.

discordance

Comprehensive discordance index

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

messages
