Usage

Input File Format

The input CSV file should have the following structure:

• The first column should contain the names of the models.

m2	200	14	8
m3	300	18	15

Command-line Usage

After installation, you can use the topsis command in the terminal:

topsis <input_file> <weights> <impacts> <output_file>

• <input_file>: Path to the input CSV file.
• <weights>: Comma-separated string of weights for the criteria.
• <impacts>: Comma-separated string of '+' or '-' indicating the desirability of the criteria.
• <output_file>: Path to the output CSV file to save the results.

Example

topsis data.csv "0.5,0.3,0.2" "+,-,+" results.csv

This command will process the data.csv file using the specified weights and impacts and output the results to results.csv.

NOTE

• Ensure that the input file has at least three columns: one for alternatives and at least two for criteria.
• All criteria columns should contain numeric values.
• The number of weights and impacts must match the number of criteria.
• Impacts should only be '+' or '-'.
