PROMETHEE-TRI_assignments

criteria

Definitions of criteria.

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

alternatives

Alternatives to consider.

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

categories

Definitions of categories.

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

weights

Weights of given criteria.

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

preferences

Preferences indices for all pairs of alternatives and profiles and profiles and profiles on each criterion.

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

categories_profiles

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

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

categories_values

Marks of categories (higher mark means better category). Each category need to have unique mark from 1 to C, where C is a number of categories.

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

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 id="assignToABetterClass">
        <value>
            <boolean>%1</boolean>
        </value>
    </parameter>
    <parameter id="useMarginalValue">
        <value>
            <boolean>%2</boolean>
        </value>
    </parameter>
</methodParameters>

where:

• %1 is a parameter named “assign to a better class”. This is a boolean. The default value is true.
• %2 is a parameter named “use marginal value”. This is a boolean. The default value is true.

assignments

Final assignments made in a Promethee Tri process.

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

messages

Messages or errors generated by this module.

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