Usage

Using this TOPSIS implementation is straightforward as importing it and writing only two lines. The important thing is the decision matrix in the type of pandas data frame.

The decision matrix would be some data frame as the following example.

After building your decision matrix, you need to define the criteria types (benefit or cost). To have the type, you can define a list as the impact. For instance, we assume that the first two criteria are benefit criteria and the last is the cost.

impact = ['+', '+', '-']

The ultimate step is assigning the weight array.

weight = np.array([0.1, 0.7, 0.2])

After having the three parameters, the model produces the ranking matrix.

import numpy as np

import pandas as pd

from topsis import topsis



array = np.random.randint(10, size=(5, 3))



decision_matrix = pd.DataFrame(array, columns=[

                               'criterion_' + str(i) for i in range(1, 4)],

                               index=['option_'+str(i) for i in range(1, 6)])



impact = ['+', '+', '-']

weight = np.array([0.1, 0.7, 0.2])



tp = topsis(decision_matrix=decision_matrix,

            weight=weight, impact=impact)

tp.rank()
