In many real-world applications, designs can only be evaluated pairwise, relative to each other. Nevertheless, in the simulation literature, almost all ranking and selection procedures are developed based on individual performances of design. This research considers statistical problem when design performance simulated pairwise. We formulate this new using optimal computing budget allocation ap...

This paper proposes a new method for calculating the missing elements of an incomplete matrix of pairwise comparison values for a decision problem. The matrix is completed by minimizing a measure of global inconsistency, thus obtaining a matrix which is optimal from the point of view of consistency with respect to the available judgements. The optimal values are obtained by solving a linear sys...

The paper concerns the pairwise comparison method used to rank a finite, usually small number of alternatives, in the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), which belongs to a certain class of multiple attribute decision making methods. Ranking of alternatives is calculated based on expert judgments expressing relative importance for each pair of alternatives. From mathematical point of view calcula...

In this work, we study the problem of transductive pairwise classification from pairwise similarities 1. The goal of transductive pairwise classification from pairwise similarities is to infer the pairwise class relationships, to which we refer as pairwise labels, between all examples given a subset of class relationships for a small set of examples, to which we refer as labeled examples. We pr...

1-INTRODUCTION Multiple Sequence Alignment (MSA) is an important method to compare biological sequences. It consists in optimising the number of matches between the residues occurring in the same order in each sequence. MSA is an NP-complete problem [Wang and Jiang 94]. There are several approaches to solve this problem. Progressive approach is the most used and the most effective one, it opera...

the purpose of this paper is to introduce the concept of pairwise f-closedness in bitopological spaces. this space contains both of pairwise strongcompactness and pairwise s-closedness and contained in pairwise quasi h-closedness. the characteristics and relationships concerning this new class ofspaces with other corresponding types are established. moreover, several ofits basic and important p...

The study combined a qualitative analysis model and quantitative to rank strategies in agricultural production Ninh Thuan province, Vietnam. A strength, weakness, opportunity, threat (SWOT) is used evaluate the characteristics of internal external factors through TOWS matrix. research Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) compare influence criteria on production. AHP method quantified weights matr...

Pairwise comparison is commonly used to estimate preference values of 0nite alternatives with respect to a given criterion. We discuss 18 estimating methods for deriving preference values from pairwise judgment matrices under a common framework of e2ectiveness: distance minimization and correctness in error free cases. We point out the importance of commensurate scales when aggregating all the ...
