The aim of this book is to provide the reader with a critical guide to AHP. In this book, the
AHP method is considered primarily as a mathematical technique supporting the decision …

The pairwise comparisons method is a convenient tool used when the relative order among
different concepts (alternatives) needs to be determined. One popular implementation of the …

Comparing alternatives in pairs is a well-known method used to create ranking. Experts are
asked to perform a series of binary comparisons and then, using mathematical methods, the …

One of the most popular methods of calculating priorities based on the pairwise
comparisons matrices (PCM) is the geometric mean method (GMM). It is equivalent to the …

The role of an expert in the decision-making process is crucial. If we ask an expert to help us
to make a decision we assume their honesty. But what if the expert is dishonest? Then, the …

This article explores the relationship between inconsistency in the pairwise comparisons
method and conditions of order preservation. A pairwise comparisons matrix with elements …

Abstract The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is a multi-criteria decision-making method
that relies on constructing a pairwise comparison matrix (PCM) based on decision …

The pairwise comparisons method can be used when the relative order of preferences
among different concepts (alternatives) needs to be determined. There are several popular …

Most decision-making models, including the pairwise comparison method, assume the
decision-makers honesty. However, it is easy to imagine a situation where a decision-maker …

The role of an expert in the decision-making process is crucial, as the final recommendation
depends on his disposition, clarity of mind, experience, and knowledge of the problem …
