Thomas Saaty, Mujgan Sagir OzdemirJournal: Annals of Data ScienceThis paper briefly examines the question of how many judges are needed to obtain valid and consistent judgments when using the analytic hierarchy process. It turns out that if a judge is experienced and well versed in an area, he can be sufficient to provide the judgments instead of diluting his ...
Read MoreThe Possibility of Group Choice: Pairwise Comparisons and Merging Functions
Thomas Saaty, Luis VargasJournal: Social Choice and WelfarePreferences in Arrow’s conditions are ordinal. Here we show that when intensity of preference represented by reciprocal pairwise comparisons is considered, it is always possible to construct an Arrowian social welfare function using a two-stage social choice process. In stage 1, the individual pa...
