The Theory of Ratio Scale Estimation: Saaty's Analytic Hierarchy Process
回应了关于萨蒂层次分析法理论基础的一些争议，通过证明和例子说明这些批评的有效性或谬误，对决策方法研究者有参考价值。
The Analytic Hierarchy Process developed by Saaty (Saaty, T. L. 1980. The Analytic Hierarchy Process. McGraw-Hill, New York.) has proven to be an extremely useful method for decision making and planning. However, some researchers in these areas have raised concerns over the theoretical basis underlying this process. This paper addresses currently debated issues concerning the theoretical foundations of the Analytic Hierarchy Process. We also illustrate through proof and through examples the validity or fallaciousness of these criticisms.
