Inputs

(For outputs, see below)

alternatives

Alternatives to consider.

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

positive_flow

Positive flows of given alternatives and profiles.

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

negative_flow

Negative flows of given alternatives and profiles.

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

categories_profiles (optional)

Definitions of profiles (boundary or central) which should be used for classes (categories) representation.

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

parameters

Parameter specifies the type of elements provided for comparison.
Choosing ‘boundary_profiles’ or ‘central_profiles’ requires providing input file: ‘categories_profiles’.

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

<methodParameters>
        <parameter id="comparison_with" name="comparison_with">
<value>
    <label>%1</label>
</value>
        </parameter>
</methodParameters>

where:

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

    • alternatives: alternatives vs alternatives
    • boundary_profiles: alternatives vs boundary profiles
    • central_profiles: alternatives vs central profiles

    The default value is item0.

Outputs

flows

Result computed from the given data.

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

messages

Messages or errors generated by this module.

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