Paper results for keyword: ScalesHow to Obtain a Global Reference Threshold in AHP/ANP
Claudio GarutiJournal: International Journal of the Analytic Hierarchy ProcessThis paper has two main objectives. The first objective is to provide a mathematically grounded technique to construct local and global thresholds using the well-known rate of change method. The next objective, which is secondary, is to show the relevance and possibilities of applying the AHP/ANP...
