# Usage example

Below the sample example of the Intuitionistic Fuzzy EDAS method application is presented.
More examples of package functionalities can be found in [Jupyter examples](https://github.com/jwieckowski/pyifdm/blob/main/examples/examples.ipynb).

```python
from pyifdm.methods import ifEDAS
from pyifdm.helpers import rank
import numpy as np

if __name__ == '__main__':
    matrix = np.array([
        [[0.4745, 0.5255], [0.4752, 0.5248], [0.2981, 0.7019], [0.4374, 0.5627]],
        [[0.5346, 0.4654], [0.5532, 0.4468], [0.6300, 0.3700], [0.5901, 0.4099]],
        [[0.4324, 0.5676], [0.4030, 0.5970], [0.4298, 0.5702], [0.4361, 0.5639]],
        [[0.5235, 0.4765], [0.4808, 0.5192], [0.5667, 0.4333], [0.2913, 0.7087]],
        [[0.4168, 0.5832], [0.4923, 0.5077], [0.4732, 0.5268], [0.4477, 0.5523]]
    ])

    weights = np.array([0.2, 0.3, 0.15, 0.35])

    types = np.array([1, -1, 1, 1])

    if_edas = ifEDAS()
    pref = if_edas(matrix, weights, types)

    print(f'IF-EDAS preferences: {pref}')
    print(f'IF-EDAS ranking: {rank(pref)}')
```

Output:

```bash
IF-EDAS preferences: 0.276 0.259 0.523 0.995 0.322
IF-EDAS ranking: 4 5 2 1 3
```
