Optimum Priority Weight Estimation Method for Pairwise Comparison Matrix
نویسندگان
چکیده
What weight estimation method to choose in the Analytic Hierarchy Process is an important study subject, because each local estimate weight value depends on an employed weight estimation method and hence the global decision making result of the AHP, which is obtained by integrating estimated local weights, is also affected by the employed weight estimation method. The optimality of the weight estimation method is defined, and on the basis of this optimality concept, a simulation experiment is designed and carried out to statistically find out the optimum weight estimation method in the framework of row-wise generalized mean weight estimation with a parameter p. From the simulation experimental result, the application guideline for the optimum weight estimation method is established, classified according to the magnitude of Consistency Index value, the pattern of estimated weight, and the number of comparison items.

Determination of weight vector by using a pairwise comparison matrix based on DEA and Shannon entropy
The relation between the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a topic of interest to researchers in this branch of applied mathematics. In this paper, we propose a linear programming model that generates a weight (priority) vector from a pairwise comparison matrix. In this method, which is referred to as the E-DEAHP method, we consider each row of the pairwise...

متن کاملConsistency-driven approximation of a pairwise comparison matrix
The pairwise comparison method is an interesting technique for building a global ranking from binary comparisons. In fact, some web search engines use this method to quantify the importance of a set of web sites. The purpose of this paper is to search a set of priority weights from the preference information contained in a general pairwise comparison matrix; i.e., a matrix without consistency a...
