Read MorePrediction, Projection and Forecasting
Author(s): Thomas SaatyThe Analytic Hierarchy Process applied to prediction and forecasting with case studies in games, sports, and applications involving uncertainty and risk.
We predict when we say in advance, foretell, or prophesy what is likely to happen in the future. We project when we calculate the numerical va...

Read MoreThe Hierarchon Vol. 2
Author(s): Thomas Saaty, Rafikul IslamResearchers have been continually developing ways and means to improve quality in decision making. The success of a methodology is judged by its acceptability by the decision makers. In this context, it is beyond any argument that AHP has been massively successful. Readers of this volume will see...
Read MoreDecision Making with Dependence and Feedback
Author(s): Thomas SaatyThis book shows how to make decisions when alternatives depend on criteria, but also the criteria depend on the alternatives.

Read MoreGroup Decision Making
Author(s): Thomas Saaty, Kirti PeniwatiWhen a group makes a decision, that decision carries a lot more weight than when just one person does it. Think of the founding fathers of the American constitution and how much power and influence their ideas have had in the entire world for more than two hundred years. Also think of gravity, a ...
