ElectreTri-rCClassAssignments

Provider:PUT
Version:0.2.0

Description

Computes class assignments according to the Electre TRI-rC method.

All the inputs and options are the same as in ElectreTri-CClassAssign - the only difference is in its assignment procedures (conditions are slightly simplified) For more on this, see the article cited as a reference.

This method uses central reference actions (profiles) instead of boundary actions known from Electre TRI.

Inputs

(For outputs, see below)

alternatives

Description:

Alternatives to consider.

classes

Description:

Definitions of the classes (categories) to be considered for the assignments. Each class must have its rank provided as an integer, where the lowest number defines the most preferred class.

outranking

Description:

Outranking relations for pairs of alternatives and central profiles, which should be used in exploitation procedure. This input should be provided in a ‘crisp’ form, i.e. it should contain only pairs where outranking occurs, but without assigning any explicit value (e.g. ‘1.0’) to them. For example:

<alternativesComparisons>
<pairs>
<pair>
<initial>
<alternativeID>a01</alternativeID>

</initial> <terminal>

<alternativeID>a05</alternativeID>

</terminal>

</pair> <pair>

<initial>
<alternativeID>a01</alternativeID>

</initial> <terminal>

<alternativeID>a06</alternativeID>

</terminal>

</pair>

</pairs>

</alternativesComparisons>

Outputs

assignments

Description:

Assignments of the alternatives computed from the given data. The assignments are provided as intervals, i.e. combining the results of ‘descending’ and ‘ascending’ assignment procedures.
