Aristotle referred to it as active versus passive reason [35]; Freud [10] as secondary versus primary process thinking; and Hobbes [14] as thought with or without “designe.” More recently the di...
Read MoreThe general case of dependence in hierarchic decision theory
Thomas SaatyJournal: Toward Interactive and Intelligent Decision Support Systems A hierarchy is a simple structure used to represent the simplest type of functional (contextual or semantic) dependence of one level or component of a system on another in a sequential manner. It is also a convenient way to decompose a complex problem in search of causeeffect explanations in step...

Claudio Garuti, Valerio SalomonJournal: International Journal of the Analytic Hierarchy ProcessIn the Analytic Hierarchy Process priorities are derived from judgments. Different priority vectors, however, can be obtained in the solution of a problem. The main objective of this article is to present two different compatibility indices between priority vectors that have been suggested. A com...
