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: Rank reversalAddressing with brevity criticism of the Analytic Hierarchy Process
Thomas Saaty, Luis Vargas, Rozann WhitakerJournal: International Journal of the Analytic Hierarchy ProcessThe paper provides an overview that covers the main criticisms of the AHP and the authors replies to them. Because there have been many papers that reply to criticisms, the thrust here is to classify them and reply to them briefly in each category without giving lengthy repetitions of what is alr...
Read MoreAn essay on rank preservation and reversal
Thomas Saaty, Mujgan Sagir OzdemirJournal: Mathematical and Computer ModellingRank preservation and reversal, so fundamental in decision making, have been an unresolved issue in the field of economics and utility theory and came into focus when the Analytic Hierarchy Process was developed because it uses paired comparisons that inevitably make the priorities of the alterna...
Read MoreRank from comparisons and from ratings in the Analytic Hierarchy/Network Processes
Thomas SaatyJournal: European Journal of Operational ResearchRank preservation and reversal are important subjects in multi-criteria decision-making particularly if a theory uses only one of two ways of creating priorities: rating alternatives one at a time with respect to an ideal or standard, or comparing them in pairs. It is known that our minds can do ...
Read MoreRank Generation, Preservation, and Reversal in the Analytic Hierarchy Decision Process
Thomas SaatyJournal: Decision sciencesDecision making has the objective of finding the best alternative or set of alternatives by considering a number of goals, objectives, criteria, competitors, and other important factors. The analytic hierarchy process is a decision aid used to assist a decision maker in sorting out the complexity...
Read MoreThe legitimacy of rank reversal
Thomas Saaty, Luis VargasJournal: OmegaWE ARE GLAD to be finally'answering Belton and Gear's concerns expressed in their article in Omega [l]. There are two points they make in their letter. The first has to do with rank reversal, and the second with how to ask the question by minimizing fuzziness. Our response is organized into four ...
Read MoreAn AHP-ANP Comparative Study on the Structural Impact of Adding or Deleting Indifferent Criteria
Min-Suk YoonJournal: Korean Corporation Management ReviewThis study deals with addition of indifferent or wash criteria on which the alternatives have equal performance in the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) against the misguided argument as shortcoming of the AHP. In such case, it is noted that careful attention and a correct approach are required in...
Read MoreThe priorities of human being's decision making
Min-Suk YoonJournal: IJAHPIn order to honor Thomas Saaty, the developer of Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP)/ Analytic Network Process (ANP), and focus on the paper he wrote just before he died, this essay mentions the rank order problem due to the addition/deletion of irrelevant alternatives over which there were controve...
