Step2:

Calculate the normalized decision matrix for beneficial & non – beneficial attributes.

Beneficial attributes

rij = rij / rj(max) i = 1,…..,m ; j = 1……,n

Non – Beneficial attributes

rij = rj(min) / rij i = 1,…..,m ; j = 1……,n

Step 3:

Evaluate each alternative, Pi by the following formula:
