  5. Ideal and Distributive Synthesis: Closed and Open Systems

    Originally, AHP had only one synthesis mode – later called the "distributive" synthesis mode.  A distributive synthesis distributes priorities from the goal down through the alternatives and is analogous to dividing priorities in a pie chart, which...

  7. What is Synthesize Results?

    After structuring the model and collecting judgments, use the Synthesis Results menu to analyze the results.   Synthesize automatically combines qualitative judgments with quantitative data, if available.  Qualitative judgments are based on the kno...
  8. What is Define Model?

    is the first step in the decision process where we "structure" a decision model by identifying objectives, alternatives, and participants, and assigning roles to participants for providing judgments or data.  After structuring the hierarchy of ob...
  9. Axioms of the Analytic Hierarchy Process

    Originally, AHP was based on three relatively simple axioms. The first axiom, the reciprocal axiom , requires that, if PC(EA,EB) is a paired comparison of elements A and B with respect to their parent, element C, representing how many times more t...
  10. The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP)

    The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is a structured technique for organizing and analyzing complex decisions, based on mathematics and psychology. It was developed by Thomas L. Saaty in the 1970s and has been extensively studied and refined since...
