Inputs

(For outputs, see below)

criteria

The criteria to consider, possibly with preference and veto thresholds (provided separated via the input ‘criteriaThresholds’). Each one must have a preference direction (see input ‘criteriaScales’). Set some criteria as inactive (or remove them) to ignore them.

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


alternatives (optional)

The alternatives to consider. Set some alternatives as inactive (or remove them) to ignore them.

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


criteriaScales

The scale of the criteria to consider.

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


criteriaThresholds (optional)

The criteria’ preference and indifference thresholds.

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


performances

The performances of the alternatives on the criteria to consider.

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


weights

The weights of the criteria to consider.

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


Outputs

preference

The preference relation computed from the given input data.

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


messages

A status message.

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