Pythagorean fuzzy ELECTRE-II for group MCDM

OriginatorAkram, M.; Ilyas, F.; Garg, H.Year2021Sources1Related methods2

PF-ELECTRE-II (Pythagorean fuzzy ELECTRE-II for group MCDM) is a outranking multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) method introduced by Akram, M.; Ilyas, F.; Garg, H. in 2021. 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

PF-ELECTRE-II takes a per-DM stack of Pythagorean fuzzy decision matrices plus per-DM PFN importance and per-criterion per-DM PFN weights, aggregates them in Phase I via PFWA, and then in Phase II constructs three-tier concordance/discordance sets, the concordance/discordance indices ψ and δ, strong and weak outranking relations, and finally a forward/reverse/average distillation of the strong+weak outranking graph to produce a ranking. Smaller φ(a) is a better rank.

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
  • May exhibit rank reversal when alternatives are added to or removed from the set.
