Hello. I need to implement few multi-criteria decision making methods in my research. I know DEMATEL, but I need to learn fuzzy AHP and VIKOR methods. Do you know any sources where I will find the way of calculating the results for those methods? I prefer materials for beginners, step-by-step. Thanks in advance for your help.
Also, for fuzzy AHP, you may find it easier if you look first at the AHP's steps. A nice example can be found here: https://www.springer.com/gp/book/9789400715110
and this book also includes fuzzy mca: https://www.springer.com/gp/book/9780792366072
Other useful material may be found at:
Van Laarhoven and Pedrycz, 1982. A Fuzzy Extension of Saaty's Priority Theory, Fuzzy Sets and Systems 134(13):365-385.
Chang, 1995. Application of extend analysis method on Fuzzy AHP, European Journal of Operational Research 96:343-350.
Regarding software, since you follow the steps, you can model it by yourself, comparing it with the results of an existing example, to ensure it is correct. It can be done even in Excel, or in simple visual DM software(http://www.onlineoutput.com/fuzzy-ahp-software/).
But maybe it will be better to try any language you are familiar with. Search for example R's packages:

Mubashar Hussain Shah Thank you very much. If I will need help, I'll let you know. Thanks a lot!
@Angelos Alamanos Thank you! I will read all the recommended sources. I know the AHP but I couldn't find goodsource to see how the fuzzy extension of it looks like. Thank you!
Welcome. If you have trouble modelling it, I'd be also glad to help
