Abstract
This paper attempts to demystify the stability of CoCoSo ranking method via a comprehensive simulation experiment. In the experiment, matrices of different dimensions are generated via Python with fuzzy data. Stability is investigated via adequacy and partial adequacy tests. The test passes if the ranking order does not change even after changes are made to entities, and the partial pass signifies that the top ranked alternative remains intact. Results infer that CoCoSo method has better stability with respect to change of alternatives compared to criteria; and CoCoSo method shows better stability with respect to partial adequacy test for criteria.
