Parameters
How to create list of parameters describing your alternatives ...
After you created a new project, you have to define list of parameters describing
your alternatives. For example, if you created project 'Cars' you should define list
of parameters describing cars.
Parameters may be of three different types.
| Type |
Parameter |
Value |
| Numeric |
Fuel efficiency |
3.4 L/100 km |
| Logical (Yes/No) |
Air conditioning |
Yes |
| Qualitative |
Fuel Type |
Gasoline |
To create list of parameters click pad "Parameters" . You will open list of parameters in current
project. To add new parameter click link "Create new". Input name of the new parameter and select
type: Numeric, Logical (Yes/No) or Classifier.
If your new parameter is qualitative (of the type "Classifier"), for example "Color" or "Fuel type", you will
be asked to attach one of already created classifiers to your parameter, or define new one.
For example, a classifier "Types of Fuel" may be attached to the Parameter "Fuel type".
Attached classifier contains all possible values of the parameter. For example classifier "Colors"
may contain values "Red", "Green", "Blue" etc... When you insert value of the parameter "Color" for
certain alternative you just select value from the list.
When you create a new qualitative parameter you don't have to fill attached Classifier with values -
you can do it later, when you insert information about your alternatives into ESTIMATION AND CHOICE.
