Hesitant Fuzzy VIKOR (Liao-Xu 2013)

HF-VIKOR (Hesitant Fuzzy VIKOR (Liao-Xu 2013)) is a ranking multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) method introduced by ? in 2013. It turns a decision matrix of alternatives scored on multiple criteria into a structured, reproducible result.

When to use it

HF-VIKOR ranks alternatives based on performance scores. Higher score = 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
  • Results depend on the chosen normalisation, weights, and parameter settings.
