Data processing for the AHP/ANP

The positive reciprocal pairwise comparison matrix (PCM) is one of the key components which is used to quantify the qualitative and/or intangible attributes into measurable quantities. This book examines six understudied issues of PCM, i.e.  consistency test, inconsistent data identification and adj...
