import numpy as np

from decipy import executors as exe

# define matrix
matrix = np.array([
    [4, 3, 2, 4],
    [5, 4, 3, 7],
    [6, 5, 5, 3],
])

beneficial = [True, True, True, True]

# criteria's weights
weights = [0.10, 0.20, 0.30, 0.40]

# define DataFrame

# Build MCDM Executor
wsm = exe.WSM(**kwargs) # Weighted Sum Method

# show results
print("WSM Ranks")

# How to choose best MCDM Method ?

# Instantiate Rank Analizer
analizer = exe.RankSimilarityAnalyzer()

# Add MCDMs to anlizer
analizer.add_executor(wsm)
analizer.add_executor(topsis)
analizer.add_executor(vikor)

# run analizer
results = analizer.analyze()
print(results)
