Abstract: The need for economic development and economic growth gave the research through economic performance indicators a great significance. Considering the limitations of the current equations and models, there is a need for a more complex machine-learning approach to assess economic performance over several years for comparison and precise outcomes. Multi-criteria decision-making techniques (MCDMs) are widely used to compare attributes and select alternative in complex decision-making problems. While the main source of data is often the input of experts from the field, adopting actual economic data can eliminate the uncertainty factor of the MCDM and provide more accurate results.
