In this paper, a novel approach combining fuzzy data envelopment analysis (DEA) and the analytical hierarchical process (AHP) is proposed to rank units with multiple fuzzy criteria. The hybrid fuzzy DEA/AHP approach derives the AHP pairwise comparisons by fuzzy DEA and utilizes AHP to fully rank units. It shows that the proposed approach generates a logical ranking of units that has perfect com...

The Evaluation of eCRM implementation in most of organizations will witness an increase in efficiency, staff satisfaction, and eventually customer satisfaction. The objective of this paper is to apply and compare the analytic hierarchy process (AHP), Fuzzy AHP and Fuzzy Topsis methods to evaluate the Parsian banks’ readiness in ECRM implementation. Primary data have been collected by means of q...

The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) was developed to aid decision makers to rank or sort information based on a number of criteria. A recent advance is the DS/AHP method which incorporates the Dempster–Shafer theory of evidence with AHP. This method allows judgements on groups of decision alternatives (DA) to be made, it also offers a measure of uncertainty in the final results. In this paper ...

Disruption of Ca(2+) homeostasis is hypothesized to mediate several electrophysiological markers of brain aging. Recent evidence indicates that estradiol can rapidly alter Ca(2+)-dependent processes in neurons through nongenomic mechanisms. In the current study, electrophysiological effects of 17beta-estradiol benzoate (EB) on the Ca(2+)-activated afterhyperpolarization (AHP) were investigated ...

AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) has been widely used in decision making. Inner dependence method AHP is one technique even in case of criteria have dependency. However using original AHP or Inner dependence method, the results often lose reliability because the comparison matrix does not always have sufficient consistency. In these cases, fuzzy representation for weighting criteria and alterna...

This note (motivated by the STSM at the Imperial College London), is devoted to combining ontologically demarcated information with the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP; [4]) for assessment of offers during contract negotiations. The AHP is widely used [1], while an attempt at combining it with ontologies was reported in [3]. Here, the context for the AHP method is provided by the Agents in Gr...

objectives: to check and compare the effectiveness of modified agility and perturbation training over conventional physical therapy in patients with knee osteoarthritis. methods: subjects were screened on the basis of inclusion and exclusion criteria and a total of 50 subjects were recruited for the study. they were randomly divided into group a and group b with n=25 each. results: group receiv...

As the use of genetically engineered mice has become increasingly prevalent in neurobiological research, evidence has steadily accumulated that substantial differences exist between strains. Although a number of studies have reported effects of genetic background on behavior, few have focused on differences in neurophysiology. The postburst afterhyperpolarization (AHP) is an important determina...

Conjoint Analysis (CA) is a very popular class of methods for measuring consumer preferences, both in research and practice. However, since a couple of years, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is being discussed in this field as well. Several empirical studies have shown the general potential of AHP, particularly in complex product evaluation tasks consisting of many attributes. But, in spit...
