Computes UTASTAR method and if necessary uses post-optimality analysis among three well-known post-optimality methods
(For outputs, see below)
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.
A list of alternatives. Alternatives can be activated or desactivated via the <active> tag (true or false). By default (no <active> tag), alternatives are considered as active.
Tag: alternatives
Code:
<alternatives>
<alternative>
<alternativeID>[...]</alternativeID>
</alternative>
</alternatives>
Values of criteria for different alternatives. It must contains IDs of both criteria and alternatives described previously.
Tag: performanceTable
Code:
<performanceTable>
<alternativePerformances>
<alternativeID>[...]</alternativeID>
<performance>
<criterionID>[...]</criterionID>
<value>
<real>[...]</real>
</value>
</performance>
</alternativePerformances>
</performanceTable>
Optimization direction for the selected criteria (min or max).
Tag: criteriaValues
Code:
<criteriaValues>
<criterionValue>
<criterionID>[...]</criterionID>
<value>
<label>[...]</label>
</value>
</criterionValue>
</criteriaValues>
Number of segments in each value function to be constructed by UTA.
Tag: criteriaValues
Code:
<criteriaValues>
<criterionValue>
<criterionID>[...]</criterionID>
<value>
<integer>[...]</integer>
</value>
</criterionValue>
</criteriaValues>
Optional: yes, enabled by default
Ranking (preorder) of alternatives, corresponding to pariwize preference and indifference statements
Tag: alternativesValues
Code:
<alternativesValues>
<alternativeValue>
<alternativeID>[...]</alternativeID>
<value>
<integer>[...]</integer>
</value>
</alternativeValue>
</alternativesValues>
Optional: yes, enabled by default
Asymmetric part of the preference relation, representing strict preference statements, under the form of paiwise comparisons of alternatives.
Tag: alternativesValues
Code:
<alternativesComparisons>
<pairs>
<pair>
<initial>
<alternativeID>[...]</alternativeID>
</initial>
<terminal>
<alternativeID>[...]</alternativeID>
</terminal>
</pair>
[...]
</pairs>
</alternativesComparisons>
Optional: yes, enabled by default
Symmetric part of the preference relation, representing indifference statements, under the form of paiwise comparisons of alternatives.
Tag: alternativesValues
Code:
<alternativesComparisons>
<pairs>
<pair>
<initial>
<alternativeID>[...]</alternativeID>
</initial>
<terminal>
<alternativeID>[...]</alternativeID>
</terminal>
</pair>
[...]
</pairs>
</alternativesComparisons>
Post-optimality method : if required, please choose between “ac” (analytic center), “mv” (mean value, geometric center), and “md” (utamp, delta maximization).
Tag: methodParameters
Code:
<methodParameters>
<parameter>
<value>
<label>%1</label>
</value>
</parameter>
</methodParameters>
Constructed value functions for the selected criteria and the provided rankings, using ACUTA method.

<criterionFunction>
<points>
<point>
<abscissa><real>[...]</real></abscissa>
