The Analytic Network Process

Abstract   The Analytic Network Process (ANP) is a generalization of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). The basic structure is an influence network of clusters and nodes contained within the clusters. Priorities are established in the same way they are in the AHP using pairwise comparisons and judgment. Many decision problems cannot be structured hierarchically because they involve the inter...

The Analytic Network Process

The Analytic Network Process (ANP) is a generalization of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). The basic structure is an influence network of clusters and nodes contained within the clusters. Priorities are established in the same way they are in the AHP using pairwise comparisons and judgment. Many decision problems cannot be structured hierarchically because they involve the interaction and ...

Big data in astronomy

greater depths with the Palomar Sky Survey during the 1950s. Astronomers pored over these photographic plates to build catalogues of new classes of objects, such as George Abell’s catalogue of rich galaxy clusters and Berverly Lynds’s catalogues of interstellar clouds. These early catalogues, published on paper in specialised journals, laid the foundations for entire fields of modern astronomy....
