Inputs

(For outputs, see below)

criteria

Information about criterias required to compute Promethee Tri: criteria id, criteria thresholds (indifference and preference) and criteria scales.

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


alternatives

List of alternatives.

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


performanceTable

The performance of alternatives.

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


criteriaValues

Weights of criteria to consider.

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


criteriaScales

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


criteriaThresholds

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


programParameters

First parameter specifies number of output clusters K. Where K is integer greater than 1 and less than number of alternatives.

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

        <programParameters>
    <parameter id="NumberOfClusters">
        <values>
            <value>
                <integer>%1</integer>
            </value>
        </values>
    </parameter>
</programParameters>

where:

  • %1 is a parameter named “number of clusters”. This is a int, and the value should conform to the following constraint: A integer value greater than 1 and lower than the number of alternatives. More formally, the constraint is:

    %1 > 1
    

Outputs

result

List of alternatives sets where each set representing one cluster.

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


messages

Messages or errors generated by this module.

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