SOAP service’s name:
 MccP-PyXMCDA (see SOAP requests for details)

Description

This web service allows to compute ordered clusters of alternatives from an outranking relation with the aim of maximizing the indifference between the alternatives inside the same cluster, and maximizing the preference relations in one direction or another between different clusters.

Inputs

(For outputs, see below)

alternatives

A list of alternatives. Alternatives can be activated or dezactivated via the <active> tag (true or false). By default (no <active> tag), alternatives are considered as active.

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

------------------------

alternativesComparisons

The outranking relation used to compare the objects.

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


parameters

The 4 method parameters: min (real value) - the minimum of the valuation domain of the relation; max (real value) - the maximum of the valuation domain of the relation; cut (real value) - the cut level of the relation (for a relation valued between 0(false) and 1(true) we normally have a 0.5 cut level; for a relation valued between -1 and 1 we normally have a 0 cut level); bipolar (boolean value) - the type of cut on the relation (false means a classic, true means bipolar)

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


Outputs

messages

A list of messages generated by the algorithm.

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


clusters

The clusters names.

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


alternativesAffectations

The alternatives clusters affectations.

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


clustersComparisons

The relation between clusters.

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