Package 'ISM'

Title: Interpretive Structural Modelling (ISM)
Description: The development of ISM was made by Warfield in 1974. ISM is the process of collaborating distinct or related essentials into a simplified and an organized format. Hence, ISM is a methodology that seeks the interrelationships among the various elements considered and endows with a hierarchical and multilevel structure. To run this package user needs to provide a matrix (VAXO) converted into 0's and 1's. Warfield,J.N. (1974) <doi:10.1109/TSMC.1974.5408524> Warfield,J.N. (1974, E-ISSN:2168-2909).

Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM).

Description

This methods provides a wellformated solution of ISM

Usage

ISM(fname, Dir)

Arguments

fname

a matrix consists of 1s' and 0's (initial reachability matrix)

Dir

a path where user wants to save output files

Details

This Function Provides well-formatted and readable excel output files (Final Reachability Matrix and Level Partition of each iteration) that make interpretation easier.

Value

provides two output files (Final Reachability Matrix and Level Partition of each iteration) in Excel format
