Generates random (uniformly distributed) ranks of alternatives.
Contact: Patrick Meyer (patrick.meyer@telecom-bretagne.eu) and Helene Schmitz
(For outputs, see below)
A list of alternatives. Alternatives can be activated or desactivated 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:
<alternatives>
<alternative>
<active>[...]</active>
[...]
</alternative>
[...]
</alternatives>
The seed for the random numbers generator (integer).
The input value should be a valid XMCDA document whose main tag is <methodParameters>.
It must have the following form:
<methodParameters>
<parameter
name="seed"> <!-- REQUIRED -->
<value>
<integer>%1</integer>
</value>
</parameter>
</methodParameters>
where:
%1 is a parameter named “seed”. This is a int, and the value should conform to the following constraint: An integer value.. More formally, the constraint is:
%1 > 0
The default value is 1.
The ranks of the alternatives.
The returned value is a XMCDA document whose main tag is <alternativesValues>.
It has the following form:
<alternativesValues mcdaConcept="alternativesRanks">
<alternativeValue>
[...]
</alternativeValue>
[...]
</alternativesValues>
A list of messages generated by the algorithm.
The returned value is a XMCDA document whose main tag is <methodMessages>.
