According to the urban logistics green degree’s evaluation, a weighted grey correlation analysis method based on the analytic hierarchy process is proposed to determine the weight of each index in the urban logistics green degree evaluation system, and then figure out the optimal relative degree, realizing the green degree of each urban logistics. Finally, an example was given for proving the e...

The performance assessment of professional baseball starting pitchers is considered a multi-attribute decisionmaking (MADM) problem. This study develops an evaluation model based on the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and grey relational analysis (GRA) to evaluate starting pitcher performance for teams of the Chinese Professional Baseball League. The AHP is used to determine attribute weights,...
