CODAS-SORT: A new CODAS based method for sorting problems

Abstract

Based on CODAS (Combinative Distance-based ASsement) ranking multi-criteria aggregation method, a new sorting method (CODAS-SORT) is proposed for assigning actions to completely ordered categories defined either by limiting profiles or by central profiles. The CODAS-SORT assignment rules are based on the Euclidean and Taxicab distances. They are based on the difference between the two distances. Those assignment rules are divided into two types one is by the limiting profiles and the other by the central profiles. We have illustrated an example for the application of the developed method.
