Closing a 17-Year Gap: Algorithmic Detection and Empirical Prevalence of Rank Reversal in Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis

arXiv:2508. 00129v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Rank Reversal, where the relative order of alternatives changes in ways that violate axioms of rational decision-making, is a well-documented threat to the reliability of Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) methods.

TOPSIS-RAD: Ranking According to Desires

arXiv:2606. 07253v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Traditional TOPSIS derives its reference points -- the Positive Ideal Solution ($PIS$) and Negative Ideal Solution ($NIS$) -- from the observed alternative set, making rankings susceptible to misalignment with decision-maker (DM) requirements, sensitivity to outlier performances, and rank reversal.
