Inputs

(For outputs, see below)

criteria

A list of criteria. Criteria can be activated or desactivated via the <active> tag (true or false). By default (no <active> tag), criteria are considered as active.

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

<criteria>
    <criterion>
        <active>[...]</active>
        [...]
    </criterion>
    [...]
</criteria>

criteriaComparisons

A non-valued relation relative to comparisons of the criteria.

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

<criteriaComparisons>
    <pairs>
        <pair>
            <initial>
                <criterionID>[...]</criterionID>
            </initial>
            <terminal>
                <criterionID>[...]</criterionID>
            </terminal>
        </pair>
        [...]
    </pairs>
</criteriaComparisons>

Outputs

transitiveReduction

The transitive reduction is applied and a non-valued relation relative to comparisons of the criteria is generated.

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


messages

A list of messages generated by the algorithm.

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