Performs and benchmarks various Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) methods. MCDA is a decision-making framework used to evaluate and rank alternatives based on multiple conflicting criteria using normalization, weighting, and aggregation techniques. The package implements a wide range of MCDA methods including ARAS (Additive Ratio Assessment), AROMAN (Alternative Ranking Order Method Accounting for two-step Normalization), COCOSO (Combined Compromise Solution), CODAS (Combinative Distance-based Assessment), COPRAS (Complex Proportional Assessment), EDAS (Evaluation based on Distance from Average Solution), ELECTRE (Elimination and Choice Expressing Reality) family (I-IV), FUCA (Faire Un Choix Adequat), GRA (Grey Relational Analysis), MABAC (Multi-Attributive Border Approximation Area Comparison), MAIRCA (Multi-Attributive Ideal-Real Comparative Analysis), MARCOS (Measurement of Alternatives and Ranking according to Compromise Solution), MAUT (Multi-Attribute Utility Theory), MAVT (Multi-Attribute Value Theory), MEGAN (Multi-criteria Evaluation with Gradual-weighting and Aggregation of Normalized distance matrices), MOORA (Multi-Objective Optimization on the basis of Ratio Analysis), OCRA (Operational Competitiveness Rating Analysis), ORESTE (Organisation, Rangement Et Synthese De Donnees Relationnelles), PROMETHEE (Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluations I-VI), RAM (Root Assessment Method), ROV (Range of Value), SMART (Simple Multi-Attribute Rating Technique), TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution), VIKOR (VlseKriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje), WASPAS (Weighted Aggregated Sum Product Assessment), WPM (Weighted Product Model), and WSM (Weighted Sum Model). The package computes comparative evaluation measures including Spearman rank correlation (Spearman, 1904) doi:10.2307/1412107, Salabun-Urbaniak's weight similarity index (Salabun and Urbaniak, 2020)doi:10.1007/978-3-030-50417-5_47, Wilcoxon signed-rank test (Wilcoxon, 1945)doi:10.2307/3001968, and permutation- and bootstrap- based entropy difference tests for pairwise method comparisons using Jensen-Shannon divergence (Lin, 1991)doi:10.1109/18.61115. It also provides sensitivity and stability analysis of MCDA results. Weight sensitivity analysis is implemented through deterministic and stochastic perturbation of criterion weights, and is also integrated as a built-in step within the MEGAN method framework (Cebeci, 2026)doi:10.7717/peerj-cs.3819.
