Papers
This section presents a collection of AHP/ANP papers. Whether you are a student, academic and/or professional in the field of decision making, you can help us expand this collection by sharing your papers on decision making with the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and the Analytic Network Process (ANP).

Paper results for keyword: Geometric meanDispersion of group judgments
Thomas Saaty, Luis VargasJournal: Mathematical and Computer ModellingTo achieve a decision with which the group is satisfied, the group members must accept the judgments, and ultimately the priorities. This requires that (a) the judgments be homogeneous, and (b) the priorities of the individual group members be compatible with the group priorities. There are three...
Read MoreThe possibility of group welfare functions
Thomas Saaty, Luis VargasJournal: International Journal of Information Technology & Decision MakingThis paper gives a brief overview of the well-known impossibility-possibility theorem in constructing a social welfare function from individual functions. The Analytic Hierarchy Process uses a fundamental scale of absolute numbers to represent judgments about dominance in paired comparisons. It i...

Ernest Forman, Kirti PeniwatiJournal: European Journal of Operational ResearchThe Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is often used in group settings where group members either engage in discussion to achieve a consensus or express their own preferences. Individual judgments can be aggregated in different ways. Two of the methods that have been found to be most useful are the...
Read MoreAn Empirical Comparison of Two Choice Aggregation Methods in the Analytic Hierarchy process
Sibs von Solms, Kirti PeniwatiJournal: The 6th International Symposium on the Analytic Hierarchy Processhis paper builds on the theoretical discussion presented in an earlier paper (this issue) on the importance of and several problems related to participative group decision-making. A variation of how the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) can be applied to address the problems and aid participative ...
Read MoreTo agree or Not to Agree, That is the Question: Choice Aggregation in the Analytic Hierarchy Process
Sibs von Solms, Kirti PeniwatiJournal: The 6th International Symposium on the Analytic Hierarchy ProcessThis paper presents theoretical arguments for the importance of participative decision- making, lists several problems related to group decision-making and presents and discusses how the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) can address these problems. Particular attention is focussed on how the ind...
