Inputs

(For outputs, see below)

criteria

Definitions of criteria, and their scales.

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>.


categories

Definitions of categories.

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


performance_table

The performances of profiles.

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


positive_flows

Positive flows of given alternatives and profiles.

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


negative_flows

Negative flows of given alternatives and profiles.

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


categories_profiles

Definitions of profiles which should be used for classes (categories) representation.

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


categories_values

Marks of categories (higher mark means better category). Each category need to have unique mark from 1 to C, where C is a number of categories.

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


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 <methodParameters>. It must have the following form:

<methodParameters>
    <parameter id="comparisonWithProfiles">
        <value>
            <label>%1</label>
        </value>
    </parameter>
</methodParameters>

where:

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

    • central: central profiles
    • bounding: boundary profiles

    The default value is central.


Outputs

assignments

Final assignments made in a FlowSort (Promethee I) process.

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


messages

Messages or errors generated by this module.

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