Multi-criteria decision analysis in natural resource management: A critical review of methods and new modelling paradigms (2006, methodology): “value measurement), the Analytic Hierarchy Process (Zahedi, 1986; Saaty, 2001) has been used to structure decision problems and to assess scores that translate DM’s preferences into a prioritisation of either objectives or alternatives.”
The analytic hierarchy and analytic network measurement processes: Applications to decisions under Risk (2007, background): “] Aczel and Saaty [1] proved the following theorem: Theorem The general separable (S) synthesizing functions satisfying the unanimity (U) and homogeneity (H) conditions are the geometric mean and the root-mean-power.”
The Analytic Hierarchy and Analytic Network Measurement Processes: The Measurement of Intangibles Decision Making under Benefits, Opportunities, Costs and Risks (2010, background): “The cognitive psychologist Arthur Blumenthal describes in his book that making comparisons is an intrinsic capability of the mind [3].”
A critical analysis of the eigenvalue method used to derive priorities in AHP (2008, background): “Since Saaty (1977, 1980) introduced the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), many applications in real-world decision-making have been reported (cf. Zahedi, 1986; Golden et al., 1989; Shim, 1989; Vargas, 1990; Saaty, 2000; Forman and Gass, 2001; Golden and Wasil, 2003; Vaidya and Kumar, 2006).”
