This paper describes an application model that couples Analytical Hierarchy Process(AHP) and fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method , which named Fuzzy-AHP(FAHP). AHP has its own superiority in computing index weight and comparing index in the same row than at classifying level. While fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method is good at classifying level. Taking into account their respective advanta...

In the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) the decision maker makes comparisons between pairs of attributes or alternatives. In real applications the comparisons are subject to judgmental errors. Many AHP-matrices reported in the literature are found to be such that the logarithm of the comparison ratio can be suÆciently well modeled by a normal distribution with a constant variance. On the basis ...
