ElectreDistillation

alternatives

Alternatives to consider

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

credibility

Credibility relation

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

method_parameters

A set of parameters provided to tune up the module’s operation

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

<methodParameters>
    <parameter name="direction">
    <value>
        <label>%1</label>
    </value>
</parameter>
<parameter name="alpha">
    <value>
        <real>%2</real>
    </value>
</parameter>
<parameter name="beta">
<value>
    <real>%3</real>
</value>
</parameter>
</methodParameters>

where:

• %1 is a parameter named “direction”. It can have the following values:

  • downwards: Downwards distillation
  • upwards: Upwards distillation

  The default value is item0.

• %2 is a parameter named “alpha”. This is a float. The default value is -0.15.

• %3 is a parameter named “beta”. This is a float. The default value is 0.3.

ranking

Result of distillation
