Ranking terrorist targets using a hybrid AHP–TOPSIS methodology

We present a methodology and an example of preparing an order of merit list to rank terrorist targets based upon decision-maker weights. We used an old terrorist data set as our base data to keep the information unclassified. This data is used to demonstrate this methodology. We perform numerical iterative criteria weight sensitivity analysis to show the effects on the model’s outputs in changes in the weights. We identify the critical criterion.
