Abstract
This paper proposes an‘inter-viewpoint stress method’, a new method of weighing evaluation items for the AHP--Analytic Hierarchy Process. By this method, various evaluation values by evaluation viewpoint are synthesized with the minimum inter-viewpoint stress.
The circulation relations or the conflicts between symmetric elements in the pairwise comparison matrix could not be effectively processed by the conventional eigenvector method.The new method, on the contrary, is able to solve these problems.
Value of the inter-viewpoint stress is effective as a consistency index for the inter-viewpoint stress method.
