Inverse Sensitive Analysis of Pairwise Comparison Matrices

چکیده
In the analytic hierarchy process (AHP), the consistency of pairwise comparison is measured by the consistency index (CI) value of pairwise comparison matrices. The CI value is defined by the size and the principal eigenvalue of comparison matrix, and the larger the CI value is, the less consistent pairwise comparison is. In this paper, we propose the estimation method of consistency intervals, in which the pairwise comparison value can move without exceeding given CI threshold. The proposed method is based on the eigenvalue method but does not calculate the principal eigenvalue and eigenvector at all, and hence, the method enables quick estimation. The method also enables us to detect which pairwise comparison leads to inconsistency of pairwise comparison and what extent the consistency can be improved, if the CI value of an original comparison matrix is large. Several numerical examples show that the proposed method is practically efficient.

A Common Weight Multi-criteria Decision analysis-data Envelopment Analysis Approach with Assurance Region for Weight Derivation from Pairwise Comparison Matrices
Deriving weights from a pairwise comparison matrix (PCM) is a subject for which a wide range of methods have ever been presented. This paper proposes a common weight multi criteria decision analysis-data envelopment analysis (MCDA-DEA) approach with assurance region for weight derivation from a PCM. The proposed model has several merits over the competing approaches and removes the drawbacks of...
متن کاملA new approach for weight derivation using data envelopment analysis in the analytic hierarchy process
Recently, some researches have been carried out in the context of using data envelopment analysis (DEA) models to generate local weights of alternatives from pairwise comparison matrices used in the analytic hierarchy process (AHP). One of these models is the DEAHP. The main drawback of the DEAHP is that it generates counter-intuitive priority vectors for inconsistent pairwise comparison matric...
متن کاملEfficient weight vectors from pairwise comparison matrices
Pairwise comparison matrices are frequently applied in multi-criteria decision making. A weight vector is called efficient if no other weight vector is at least as good in approximating the elements of the pairwise comparison matrix, and strictly better in at least one position. A weight vector is weakly efficient if the pairwise ratios cannot be improved in all nondiagonal positions. We show t...
