 DEMATEL_influences-PUT (see SOAP requests for details)

Description

Computes effects (in and out) and relations for given alternatives used in DEMATEL method. Basing on processed matrix of alternatives influences (each on each) there are prepared vectors - in_effect, which is the total effect from other alternatives on this alternative, and out_effect - the same, but reversed - this alternative on all other. For more details please refer to https://doi.org/10.1155/2018/3696457, step 4.
