The analytic hierarchy process for the decision tree with multiple criteria

Decision making with the analytic hierarchy process

Decisions involve many intangibles that need to be traded off. To do that, they have to be measured along side tangibles whose measurements must also be evaluated as to, how well, they serve the objectives of the decision maker. The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is a theory of measurement through pairwise comparisons and relies on the judgements of experts to derive priority scales. It is th...

Evaluative Criteria for Aggregation Rules in the Analytic Hierarchy Process

The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) has been considerably criticized for its possible rank reversal phenomenon. Many variants of the original AHP have been proposed to preserve rank orders. The validity of the original AHP and its variants have been a subject of long-lasting debate. In this paper we propose four criteria to evaluate the validity of AHP aggregation rules and examine three typic...

Integrating Fuzzy Delphi with Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process for Multiple Criteria Inventory Classification

A systematic approach to the inventory control and classification may have a significant influence on company competitiveness. In practice, all inventories cannot be controlled with equal attention. In order to efficiently control the inventory items and to determine the suitable ordering policies for them, multiple criteria inventory classification is used. In this paper, a systematic and logi...

Multi Criteria Selection of Components Using the Analytic Hierarchy Process

The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) has been successfully used in the past for the selection of components, as presented in case studies in the literature. In this paper, an empirical study using AHP to rank components is presented. The components used in the study are for data compression; each implements one of the Arithmetic Encoding (AREC), Huffman coding (HUFF), Burrows-Wheeler Transform ...
