Inputs

(For outputs, see below)

alternatives

The alternatives to consider.

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


criteria

The criteria to consider.

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


categories

The categories to sort.

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


categoriesComparisons

The ranking of the categories.

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


categoriesProfiles

The reference alternatives and limits of profiles.

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


performanceTable

The performance of alternatives.

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


criteriaLinearConstraints

The linear constraints related to criteria and cutting level(with variable tag added to element tag and the cutting level is expressed in variable tag with id ‘lamda’).The confidence level can be provided (not obligationary)for resolving inconsistency(if it happens)

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


alternativesAffectations (optional)

The assignment examples provided by DM .

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


Outputs

methodMessages_weights

A combination of values of weights and lamda which match the preference information best.

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


alternativesAffectations_sorting

The sorting result for every alternative based on the values of parameters in methodMessage.

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


alternativesAffectations_robustAssignments

The range of robust assignments for each alternative and the combination of values of weights and lamda corresponding to each possible assignment.

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