L2T-CODAS (Linguistic extension of L2T-CODAS) is a ranking multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) method introduced by He, Y., Wei, G., Chen, X., Zhao, J. in 2019. It turns a decision matrix of alternatives scored on multiple criteria into a structured, reproducible result.

Key highlights

  • Follows a transparent, reproducible computational procedure that can be audited step by step.
  • Handles multiple criteria of differing scales and units within a single decision matrix.

When to use it

l2t-codas extends L2T-CODAS to handle Linguistic uncertainty. All arithmetic operations (normalisation, weighting, distance computation) are performed using 2-Tuple Linguistic Variable (2TL: (s_i, α)) algebra. The final scores are defuzzified via Δ^{-1}(s_i, α) = i + α before ranking.

Strengths & limitations

Strengths
  • Follows a transparent, reproducible computational procedure that can be audited step by step.
  • Handles multiple criteria of differing scales and units within a single decision matrix.
Limitations
  • Assumes full compensation — a strong score on one criterion can offset a weak score on another.
