Abstract

We have proposed a super pairwise comparison matrix (SPCM) to express all pairwise comparisons in the evaluation process of the dominant analytic hierarchy process (D-AHP) or the multiple dominant AHP (MDAHP) as a single pair wise comparison matrix. This paper shows the calculations for MDAHP including hierarchical criteria by the concurrent convergence method, by the geometric mean MDAHP and from SPCM by the logarithmic least squares method, the Harker method, and the improved two stage method.
