PL-MULTIMOORA (Probabilistic Linguistic extension of MULTIMOORA) is a ranking multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) method introduced by Wu, X. Liao, H. Xu, Z. S. Hafezalkotob, A. Herrera, F. in 2018. 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

PL-MULTIMOORA extends MULTIMOORA to PLTS context. It runs three sub-approaches (Ratio System, Reference Point, Full Multiplicative Form) all operating on PLEF-normalised PLTS values. The improved Borda rule aggregates the three sub-rankings into a final consensus 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
  • Results depend on the chosen normalisation, weights, and parameter settings.
