Version [1.1]–[pyrepo-mcda — Reference Objects based MCDA Software Package]

Abstract

This paper presents the consolidation and extension of two developed Python packages for multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA). The pyrepo-mcda package providing a set of MCDA methods and supporting techniques such as compromise rankings and sensitivity analysis has been consolidated with the Crispyn package providing a broad set of objective criteria weighting methods. Then, the package was supplemented with seven additional MCDA methods. The extension of the pyrepo-mcda package significantly expands its analytical capabilities. Additional MCDA methods, especially those supporting the strong sustainability paradigm, increase the scope of applications of the package for reliable sustainability assessment.
