ElectreDistillation

alternatives

Alternatives to consider

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

credibility

Credibility relation

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=”direction”>

<values>

<value>

<label>%1</label>

</value>

</values>

</parameter> <parameter name=”alpha”>

<values>

<value>

<real>%2</real>

</value>

</values>

</parameter> <parameter name=”beta”>

<values>

<value>

<real>%3</real>

</value>

</values>

</parameter>

</programParameters>

where:

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

  • downwards: Downwards distillation
  • upwards: Upwards distillation

  The default value is item0.

• %2 is a parameter named “alpha”. This is a float. The default value is -0.15.

• %3 is a parameter named “beta”. This is a float. The default value is 0.3.

ranking

Result of distillation

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

messages
