Plithogenic extension of P-AROMAN

OriginatorBošković et al.Year2023Sources1Related methods8

P-AROMAN (Plithogenic extension of P-AROMAN) is a ranking multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) method introduced by Bošković et al. in 2023. 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

p-aroman extends P-AROMAN to handle Plithogenic uncertainty. All arithmetic operations (normalisation, weighting, distance computation) are performed using Plithogenic Set (PltS: attribute values with contradiction degrees) algebra. The final scores are defuzzified via dominant value defuzzification; approach varies by appurtenance function 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.
