An approach to avoiding rank reversal in AHP
Decision Support Systems, 2006 Analytic hierarchy process (AHP) has been considerably criticized for possible rank reversal phenomenon caused by the addition or deletion of an alternative. This paper looks into the cause of rank reversal phenomenon and finds that rank reversal is caused by change of local priorities before and after an alternative is added or deleted. An approach is

Rank Reversal and Rank Preservation in TOPSIS
Advanced Materials Research, 2011 TOPSIS has been in use for more than 20 years in many fields. However, few researches have studied its defect of rank reversal. This paper, by studying the fundamental cause for the rank reversal problem in TOPSIS, put forward an improvement on TOPSIS based on the decision maker’s subjective preferences, which can, proved by a numerical example ...

, 2012 The problem of aggregating multiple criteria to form an overall measure is of considerable importance in many disciplines. The ordered weighted averaging (OWA) aggregation, introduced by Yager, uses weights assigned to the ordered values rather than to the specific criteria.

A Dichotomous Approach to Reduce Rank Reversal Occurrences in PROMETHEE II Rankings [PDF]
, 2019 Multicriteria methods based on pairwise comparisons suffer from rank reversal occurrences when the set of alternatives is modified. In this paper, we consider an alternative PROMETHEE-based method to compute pre-orders. This should lead to face less rank reversal (RR) occurrences than in the traditional Promethee II ranking. It is based on hierarchical

Rank Reversal and the VIKOR Method: An Empirical Evaluation
International Journal of Information Technology & Decision Making, 2018 Rank reversal is a common phenomenon in multi-criteria decision-making methods. It appears when the addition/deletion of new options to the alternatives’ set produces a change in the original ranking. In this contribution, we want to assess this phenomenon in the context of the VIKOR method.
