Last update: Nov 22, 2022

Overview

EasyMCDM - Quick Installation methods

Install with PyPI

Once you have created your Python environment (Python 3.6+) you can simply type:

pip3 install EasyMCDM

Install with GitHub

Once you have created your Python environment (Python 3.6+) you can simply type:

git clone https://github.com/qanastek/EasyMCDM.git
cd EasyMCDM
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
pip3 install --editable .

Any modification made to the EasyMCDM package will be automatically interpreted as we installed it with the --editable flag.

Setup with Anaconda

conda create --name EasyMCDM python=3.6 -y
conda activate EasyMCDM

More information on managing environments with Anaconda can be found in the conda cheat sheet.

Instant-Runoff Multicriteria Optimization (IRMO)

Short description : Eliminate the worst individual for each criteria, until we reach the last one and select the best one.

from EasyMCDM.models.Irmo import Irmo

p = Irmo(data="data/donnees.csv", verbose=False)
res = p.solve(
    indexes=[0,1,4,5], # price -> max_speed -> comfort -> trunk_space
    prefs=["min","max","min","max"]
)
print(res)

Output :

{'best': 'saab_tid'}
