Ratio scales are fundamental in decision making

Thomas Saaty
Journal: Proceedings of the Fourth International Symposium on the Analytic Hierarchy Process (ISAHP’96)
Multicriteria decision making depends On the use of numbers and scales to make trade-offs. We examine in detail the types of numerical scales of measurement there are and which ones seem to work better for measurement in a hierarchic model of a complex problem. It is argued that ratio scales play...

Decisions with the Analytic Network Process (ANP)

Thomas Saaty
Journal: Proceedings of the Fourth International Symposium on the Analytic Hierarchy Process (ISAHP’96)
For very large model applications, AHP is known to suffer from a number of shortcomings related to time, effort and consistency at performing multiple painvise comparisons. A number of methods have been proposed to shorten the time and relate the effort to the decision precision required, or inde...
