Starting rules for incomplete comparisons in the analytic hierarchy process

摘要: Entering pairwise comparisons to the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) can be very tedious if hierarchy is large. Accordingly, techniques exist derive priorities from incomplete comparisons. This study investigates effect of different reference items for first (n - 1) Incomplete Process. It analyzes accuracy AHP users in estimating proportions five colors a rectangular picture. The empirical results show that significantly greater initial achieved are ranked and lowest item used as common referent
