I'm using the VIKOR
multicriteria method from the MCDM
package. The example can be found here: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/MCDM/MCDM.pdf
However, I would like a clearer explanation of this method. This is the example in the link above:
library(MCDM)
d <- matrix(c(1,2,5,3000,3750,4500),nrow = 3,ncol = 2)
> d
[,1] [,2]
[1,] 1 3000
[2,] 2 3750
[3,] 5 4500
w <- c(0.5,0.5)
cb <- c('min','max')
v <- 0.5
VIKOR(d,w,cb,v)
> VIKOR(d,w,cb,v)
Alternatives S R Q Ranking
1 1 0.500 0.50 1 2
2 2 0.375 0.25 0 1
3 3 0.500 0.50 1 3
I've seen that the ranking
is based on Q
, however from what I'm seeing the lowest value is the best, right? And I also didn't quite understand this value of v
.
Could you explain me better about this method?
