Papers
This section presents a collection of AHP/ANP papers. Whether you are a student, academic and/or professional in the field of decision making, you can help us expand this collection by sharing your papers on decision making with the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and the Analytic Network Process (ANP).

Paper results for keyword: Relative measurementRank from comparisons and from ratings in the Analytic Hierarchy/Network Processes
Thomas SaatyJournal: European Journal of Operational ResearchRank preservation and reversal are important subjects in multi-criteria decision-making particularly if a theory uses only one of two ways of creating priorities: rating alternatives one at a time with respect to an ideal or standard, or comparing them in pairs. It is known that our minds can do ...
Read MoreWhat is relative measurement? The ratio scale phantom
Thomas SaatyJournal: Mathematical and Computer ModellingTraditionally, measurement scales with a unit are assumed to be available to measure and rank alternatives. However, such scales are scarce and it is often desired to rank alternatives on many tangible and intangible criteria. How? Relative measurement is a method for deriving ratio scales from p...

Kirti PeniwatiJournal: The 3rd International Symposium on the Analytic Hierarchy ProcessThe grouping of elements, called clustering, is a fundamental operation in the Analytic Hierarchy Process. What elements are chosen and how they are clustered and located in a hierarchy have a profound effect on the outcome and the conclusions derived from the outcome. A valid AHP hierarchy must ...
