Inputs

(For outputs, see below)

relation

The fuzzy relation to cut.

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

alternatives (optional)

The alternatives to consider. Set some alternatives as inactive (or remove them) to ignore them.

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

cut_threshold

The threshold specifying where to cut the relation.

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

<methodParameters>
   <parameter>
         <value>
            <real>%1</real>
         </value>
   </parameter>
</methodParameters>

where:

  • %1 is a parameter named “cut_threshold”. This is a float.

Outputs

binary_relation

The binary relation resulting from the cut.

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

messages

A status message.

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