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 0-1 valued outranking relation. The numeric <value> indicates a the valuation for each <pair> of the relation.

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

Outputs

alternativesWeakness

Alternatives’ weakness (number of alternatives which “beat” a given alternative).

The returned value is a XMCDA document whose main tag is <alternativesValues>. It has the following form:

                    <alternativesValues mcdaConcept="weakness">
                    <alternativeValue>
            <alternativeID>[...]</alternativeID>
            <value>
                    <real>[...]</real>
            </value>
    </alternativeValue>
</alternativesValues>

alternativesStrength

Alternatives’ strength (number of alternatives which are “beaten” by a given alternative).

The returned value is a XMCDA document whose main tag is <alternativesValues>. It has the following form:

                    <alternativesValues mcdaConcept="strength">
                    <alternativeValue>
            <alternativeID>[...]</alternativeID>
            <value>
                    <real>[...]</real>
            </value>
    </alternativeValue>
</alternativesValues>

alternativesQualification

Alternatives’ qualification (difference between the strength and the weakness).

The returned value is a XMCDA document whose main tag is <alternativesValues>. It has the following form:

                    <alternativesValues mcdaConcept="qualification">
                    <alternativeValue>
            <alternativeID>[...]</alternativeID>
            <value>
                    <real>[...]</real>
            </value>
    </alternativeValue>
</alternativesValues>

messages

A list of messages generated by the algorithm.

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