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>

alternativesRanks

A list of <alternativeValue> representing a value taken by each alternative (the higher, the better in the preorder).

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


Outputs

alternativesValuesPlot

A string containing the base64 representation of the png image of the graph generated by the R statistical software.

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


messages

A list of messages generated by the algorithm.

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