“…The merits of the MAIRCA method are described as below: (1) it can be employed to settle decision-making issues which have multitudinous criteria and alternatives; (2) it can also solve decision problems with mixed quantitative and qualitative evaluation criteria; (3) the decision process of MAIRCA is easily understood and can be flexibly applied in combination with other methods; and (4) the method has a distinctive linear normalization algorithm which can obtain highly reliable discrepancies and produce consistent results. Due to the above merits, many scholars have employed the MAIRCA to settle real-world decision issues in a great number of fields, such as flood susceptibility assessment (Hadian et al, 2022), ammunition depot site selection problems (Gigovic et al, 2016), biological inspiration evaluation (Zhu et al, 2021), supplier performance evaluation (Chatterjee et al, 2018), failure risk evaluation (Boral et al, 2020), business partner selection (Trung et al, 2022), and energy storage technology selection . To indicate the ambiguous and indetermined evaluation information, some scholars have extended the traditional MAIRCA method by combining it into various decision environments, such as classical fuzzy sets (Gul and Ak, 2020;Boral et al, 2020;Mestanza and Bakhat, 2021), fuzzy rough sets (Zhu et al, 2021), spherical fuzzy sets (Trung et al, 2022;Erdogan, 2022), rough sets (Chatterjee et al, 2018;Pamucar et al, 2017a;Bozanic et al, 2020;Pamucar et al, 2017b) and intuitionistic fuzzy sets (Ecer, 2022).…”
