Statistical Issues in Combining Expert Opinions for Analytic Hierarchy Process
نویسنده
چکیده
The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is used as a modelling and solution tool for multicriteria decision making. The AHP breaks a problem down and then aggregates the solutions of all the subproblems into a conclusion. By breaking it down, the AHP utilizes the human ability to make sound judgements about small problems. (see Saaty 1991 and Saaty 1996.) The most creative part of decision making that has a significant effect on the outcome is modelling the problem. In the AHP, a problem is structured as a hierarchy. It is followed by a process of prioritization, which involves eliciting judgements in response to questions about the dominance of one element over another when compared with respect to a property.
