Inputs

(For outputs, see below)

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>
        <active>[...]</active>
        [...]
    </criterion>
    [...]
</criteria>

criteriaComparisons

A valued relation relative to the partial preorder of the criteria. A 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 <criteriaComparisons>.

cutLevel (optional)

A real value indicating above which level the valued relation (comparisons) should be considered as validated.

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

<methodParameters>
    <parameter
         name="cutlevel"> <!-- REQUIRED  -->
        <value>
            <real>%1</real>
        </value>
    </parameter>
</methodParameters>

where:

  • %1 is a parameter named “cutLevel”. This is a float.

Outputs

criteriaComparisonsPlot

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 <criterionValue>.

messages

A list of messages generated by the algorithm.

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