m-Polar Fuzzy extension of ELECTRE-III with pseudo-criterion thresholds, Shannon-entropy objective weights and Li–Wang net credibility ranking (Akram & Adeel 2023)

MPF-ELECTRE-III is a group decision method with three innovations over MPF-ELECTRE-II: (1) it derives objective scalar criterion weights internally via Shannon's entropy formula (Eqs. 5.4–5.8), so no externally elicited weights are required; (2) it replaces binary concordance/discordance with pseudo-criterion partial indices governed by three per-criterion thresholds — indifference q_j, preference p_j and veto ν_j (Table 5.9 in the case study); (3) it ranks via the Li–Wang net credibility γ(x_p) = γ^+(x_p) − γ^-(x_p) in descending order — no Belton-Stewart distillation. The pseudo-criterion mo
