Description

This web service computes rankings on the alternatives by distillation of alternatives’ qualification. Compared to the web service alternativesRankingViaQualificationDistillation, this web service requires a non-valued or a 0-1 valued outranking relation as input. The partial ranking (intersectionDistillation) is obtained by taking the intersection of upwards and downwards distillation preorders (which are also provided).

Inputs

(For outputs, see below)

alternatives

Description:

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.

outrankingRelation

Description:

A non-valued relation or a 0-1 valued outranking relation. A numeric <value> indicates a the valuation for each <pair> of the relation.
