(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>
A list of <alternativeValue> in an <alternativesValues> containing the overall value of each alternative. The <value> should be a numeric value.
The input value should be a valid XMCDA document whose main tag is <alternativesValues>.
The parameter which says if the highest or lowest value is to be ranked first.
The input value should be a valid XMCDA document whose main tag is <methodParameters>.
It must have the following form:
<methodParameters>
<parameter
name="maxMin"> <!-- REQUIRED -->
<value>
<label>%1</label>
</value>
</parameter>
</methodParameters>
where:
%1 is a parameter named “maxMin”. It can have the following values:
min: The lowest value is ranked firstmax: The highest value is ranked firstThe default value is min.
A list of <alternativeValue> in an <alternativesValues> containing the rank of each alternative.
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>.
