The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is a well-known approach in decision-making because of its simplicity and rationality. However, conventional AHP, it cannot account for the correlation effect between criteria. In this paper, we use lexical database, WordNet, to calculate similarity criteria set by decision-maker. Then, matrix factor analysis obtain independent factors, which are composed th...

A systematic study of the optional maintenance strategies of the Transformer is conducted and a set of general factors which should be considered in the maintenance strategies is established. A Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) based on the goal programming is proposed in view of the defects of the traditional Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP), and the specific application process o...

abstract nowadays, fuzzy technique is used to prepare the map in different sciences, extensively. with due attention to important role of soil fertility in modern agriculture, the preparation of soil fertility map seems to be necessary to plan for appropriate using of fertilizers for crops. this study was conducted to prepare a distinct map for evaluating soil fertility according to soil availa...

The digital resources construction of college library is important for the development of college, therefore it is necessary to evaluate it base on an effective evaluation method, and the application of fuzzy analytic hierarchy process on it is studied in depth. Firstly, the meaning of performance evaluation of digital construction of college library is discussed; Secondly, the digital resource...

The Analytic Hierarchy Process AHP is a theory of measurement. Reference to this paper should be made as follows: Saaty, T.L. Decision.The Analytic Hierarchy Process AHP is due to Saaty 1980 and is often referred to, eponymously, as the Saaty method. It is popular and widely used.The Saatys method dealt with consistency of the pairwise comparison matrix. A consistent matrix mean e.g. if the dec...

In the current work, a framework is presented for amine solvent selection in gas treating process. Since the appropriate decision making in this field affects the capital and operational costs, multi attribute decision making (MADM) techniques were used to rank alternatives. The determination of criteria and alternatives is the most important aspect in the MADM. Criteria were divided into two c...
