OriginatorPala, O.Year2024Sources1Related methods8

LODECI (LOgarithmic DEcomposition of Criteria Importance) is a weight objective multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) method introduced by Pala, O. in 2024. 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.

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.
