pyDecision is a comprehensive Python library that encompasses a wide array of Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) methods. These powerful and versatile tools assist in making effective decisions by comparing alternatives based on multiple criteria, making it a valuable resource for researchers, analysts, and decision-makers.

pyDecision offers an array of features, including the comparison of ranking alternatives and comparison of criterion weights from various methods. The library is also fully integrated with chatGPT, elevating result interpretation through AI. Additionally, pyDecision provides the flexibility to import results from custom methods or those not yet implemented in the library for swift comparison.

Usage

1. Install

pip install pyDecision

2. Import

# Import AHP
from pyDecision.algorithm import ahp_method

# Parameters
weight_derivation = 'geometric' # 'mean'; 'geometric' or 'max_eigen'

# Dataset
dataset = np.array([
  #g1     g2     g3     g4     g5     g6     g7                  
  [1  ,   1/3,   1/5,   1  ,   1/4,   1/2,   3  ],   #g1
  [3  ,   1  ,   1/2,   2  ,   1/3,   3  ,   3  ],   #g2
  [5  ,   2  ,   1  ,   4  ,   5  ,   6  ,   5  ],   #g3
  [1  ,   1/2,   1/4,   1  ,   1/4,   1  ,   2  ],   #g4
  [4  ,   3  ,   1/5,   4  ,   1  ,   3  ,   2  ],   #g5
  [2  ,   1/3,   1/6,   1  ,   1/3,   1  ,   1/3],   #g6
  [1/3,   1/3,   1/5,   1/2,   1/2,   3  ,   1  ]    #g7
])

# Call AHP Function
weights, rc = ahp_method(dataset, wd = weight_derivation)

# Weigths
for i in range(0, weights.shape[0]):
  print('w(g'+str(i+1)+'): ', round(weights[i], 3))
  
# Consistency Ratio
print('RC: ' + str(round(rc, 2)))
if (rc > 0.10):
  print('The solution is inconsistent, the pairwise comparisons must be reviewed')
else:
  print('The solution is consistent')
