Inputs

(For outputs, see below)

criteria

Criteria to consider

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>.

partial_preferences

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

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

categories_profiles (optional)

Definitions of central or boundary profiles connected with classes (categories)

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

method_parameters

Parameter specifies the technical parameter for aggregating discordances.

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

<methodParameters>
<parameter name="comparison_with">
    <value>
      <label>%1</label>
    </value>
  </parameter>
  <parameter name="technical_parameter">
    <value>
      <integer>%2</integer>
    </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 (characteristic) profiles

    The default value is item0.

  • %2 is a parameter named “technical parameter”. This is a int.

Outputs

discordance

Aggregated discordance matrix computed from the given data. This matrix aggregates partial discordance indices from all criteria into single discordance index per pair of alternatives or alternatives/profiles.

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

partial_discordance

Discordance matrix computed from the given data. This matrix shows partial discordance indices for all criteria, for all pairs of alternatives or alternatives/profiles.

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

messages

Messages or errors generated by this module.

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