RubisConcordanceRelation

criteria

A list of criteria. Criteria can be activated or desactivated via the <active> tag (true or false). By default (no <active> tag), criteria are considered as active.

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

<criteria>

<criterion id=”[…]”>

<active>[…]</active>

</criterion> […]

</criteria>

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>

performanceTable

A performance table. The evaluations should be numeric values, i.e. <real>, <integer> or <rational>.

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

criteriaWeights

The set of criteria weights.

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

valuationDomain (optional)

Indicates the minimal and the maximal values of the valuation domain for computing the concordance relation. By default the valuation domain is {0,0.5,1}. The median indetermination value is computed as the average of the minimal and the maximal values.

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

<programParameters name="valuationDomain"> <!-- name REQUIRED  -->

<parameter name=”min”> <!– name REQUIRED –>

<values>

<value>

<real>%1</real>

</value>

</values>

</parameter> <parameter name=”max”> <!– name REQUIRED –>

<values>

<value>

<real>%2</real>

</value>

</values>

</parameter>

</programParameters>

where:

• %1 is a parameter named “min”. This is a float.
• %2 is a parameter named “max”. This is a float.

alternativesComparisons

The concordance relation.

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

messages

A list of messages generated by the algorithm.

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