Previous review papers on analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) mainly focused on the application areas and paid scant attention to the framework development of AHP, TOPSIS and their hybrid methods. The purpose of this paper is to review the literature on analytic hierarchy process (AHP), type of scale used in AHP, modified ...

There are a number of decision making problems in which Geographical Information System (GIS) has employed to organize and facilitate the procedure of analyzing the problem. These GIS-based decision problems which typically include a number of different criteria and alternatives are generally analyzed by Multicriteria Decision Analysis (MCDA).Different locations within a geographical area repre...

We accurately measured the conductance responsible for the afterhyperpolarization (medium AHP) that follows a single spike in spinal motoneurons of anesthetized cats. This was done by using the dynamic-clamp method. We injected an artificial current in the neurons that increased the AHP amplitude, and we made use of the fact that the intensity of the natural AHP current at the trough of the vol...

In this paper, we use experimental economics methods to test how well Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) fares as a choice support system in a real decision problem. AHP provides a ranking that we statistically compare with three additional rankings given by the subjects in the experiment: one at the beginning, one after providing AHP with the necessary pair-wise comparisons and one after learnin...

The ahp genes encoding the two proteins (F52a and C22) that make up an alkyl hydroperoxide reductase were mapped and cloned from Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli. Two classes of oxidant-resistant ahp mutants which overexpress the two proteins were isolated. ahp-1 was isolated in a wild-type background and is dependent on oxyR, a positive regulator of defenses against oxidative stress...

Tom Saaty developed the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) more than 25 years ago. Since then, AHP has been used by decision makers all over the world to model problems in diverse areas such as conflict analysis, marketing, R&D management, strategic planning, and public policy. Thousands of AHP papers have been published, documenting the wide applicability of the approach in ranking, selecting, e...

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...
