A New Method of Paired Comparison by Improved Dematel Method —Application to the Integrated Evaluation of a Medical Information Which Has Multiple Factors—

Abstract

 A method of paired comparison is generally used for decision-making. This paper describes a new Dematel method improved to determine the order of priority of many factors. An indirect degree of importance could be evaluated by this method expanding the two steps comparison to the infinite steps. This study was carried out by the analysis of data from the questionnaire to physicians about the blood chemical parameters in liver dysfunctions.
