Introduction to the Analytic Hierarchy Process (2014, methodology): “After Saaty’s [105] attempt to axiomatize it and a debate initiated by Dyer [49], nowadays the AHP is considered to be grounded on relative measurement theory which can be seen as a theory where what matters are only the ratios between measurements of whatever entities under consideration.”
