THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE ANALYTIC HIERARCHY PROCESS AND THE ADDITIVE VALUE FUNCTION*
研究了层次分析法与加性价值函数的关系，比较了两种方法的优缺点，并提出一种结合两者元素的新方法，用于构建单维价值函数和估计权重。
ABSTRACT The relationship between the analytical hierarchy process (AHP), a multiple‐criteria decision method based on the properties of the eigenvalues of positive reciprocal matrices, and the additive value function is studied. The AHP is compared with the standard method of building an additive value function. The advantages and disadvantages of each method are discussed and a new method that uses elements of both is proposed. The proposed method relies on the AHP for building the unidimensional value functions and incorporates the systematic use of pairwise comparisons into the standard method of estimating the weights of the additive value function.
