Library for Multi-criteria Decision Aid Methods

scikit-mcda

It is a python library made to provide multi-criteria decision aid for developers and operacional researchers.

Scikit-mcda provides an easy way to apply several popular decision-making methods. It can be used as part of your development or for analytical experiments using notebooks like Jupyter, colab or kaggle. The package is available on the Pypi allowing installation by pip install scikit-mcda command.

Some methods available:

DMUU

• laplace, hurwicz, maximax, maximin, minimax-regret ...

MCDA

• Weighted Sum Model (WSM), Weighted Product Model (WPM) , Weighted Aggregated Sum Product Assessment (WASPAS), Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to an Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) ...

Definition of criteria weights

• Manually, Entropy, Ranking Methods ...

Nomalization

• Z score, MinMax, Logistic, Max, Sum and RootSumSquared
