Analysis of compatibility between interdependent matrices in ANP

摘要: Analytic network process (ANP) addresses multi-attribute decision-making where attributes exhibit dependencies. A principal characteristic of such problems is that pairwise comparisons are needed for have interdependencies. We propose before comparison matrices used—in addition to a test assesses the consistency matrix—a must also be conducted assess ‘consistency’ across interdependent matrices. call cross-matrix as compatibility test. In this paper, we design between two clusters attributes. motivate our exposition by addressing in Sinarchy, special form ANP interdependency exists last and next-to-last level. The developed applicable any pair part an ANP.
