RAFSI: Ranking of Alternatives Through Functional Mapping of Criterion Sub-Intervals Into a Single Interval
This package provides an R implementation of the RAFSI method, which addresses the rank reversal problem in Multi-Attribute Decision-Making (MADM). Rank reversal occurs when unexpected changes in the ranking of alternatives happen due to the addition or deletion of a non-optimal alternative. This issue indicates significant mathematical inconsistencies in many MADM methods.
The RAFSI method is designed to produce stable rankings by mapping criterion sub-intervals into a single interval, ensuring that the final rankings remain consistent. The method returns a sorted ranking of alternatives based on a matrix of criteria values, where rows represent alternatives, and columns represent criteria. Key Features:
Criteria Matrix: A matrix where each row is an alternative, and each column represents a criterion.
Criterion Weights: A numeric vector representing the weights for each criterion. The sum of these weights must equal 1.
Ideal and Anti-Ideal Values: Numeric vectors representing the ideal and anti-ideal values for each criterion.
Preference Relations: Numeric values n_i and n_k, which define the extent to which the ideal value is preferred over the anti-ideal value and the extent to which the anti-ideal value is considered the worst.The function processes this data to generate a standardized decision matrix, normalizes it, applies the given weights, and returns the final sorted rankings.
More information about the method can be found at https://doi.org/10.3390/math8061015. More information about the implementation at https://github.com/mateusvanzetta/rafsi.

Example Calculation Using Data from DOI Reference
Here’s how you can use the RAFSI method with sample data:
library(rafsi)
dataset <- matrix(c( 180, 165, 160, 170, 185, 167, 10.5, 9.2, 8.8, 9.5, 10, 8.9, 15.5, 16.5, 14, 16, 14.5, 15.1, 160, 131, 125, 135, 143, 140, 3.7, 5, 4.5, 3.4, 4.3, 4.1 ), nrow = 6, ncol = 5) rownames(dataset) <- c(“A1”, “A2”, “A3”, “A4”, “A5”, “A6”)
weights <- c(0.35, 0.25, 0.15, 0.15, 0.10) criterion_type <- c(‘max’, ‘max’, ‘min’, ‘min’, ‘max’) ideal <- c(200, 12, 10, 100, 8) anti_ideal <- c(120, 6, 20, 200, 2) n_i <- 1 n_k <- 6
result <- rafsi_method(dataset, weights, criterion_type, ideal, anti_ideal, n_i, n_k)
print(result\(Standardized_matrix) print(result\)Normalized_matrix) print(result$Ranking)
