Inputs

(For outputs, see below)

alternatives

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>

alternativesComparisons

A non-valued relation relative to comparisons of the alternatives.

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

<alternativesComparisons>
    <pairs>
        <pair>
            <initial>
                <alternativeID>[...]</alternativeID>
            </initial>
            <terminal>
                <alternativeID>[...]</alternativeID>
            </terminal>
        </pair>
        [...]
    </pairs>
</alternativesComparisons>

Outputs

transitiveReduction

The transitive reduction is applied and a non-valued relation relative to comparisons of the alternatives is generated.

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


messages

A list of messages generated by the algorithm.

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