Abstract
The dominant alternatives method by Kinoshita and Nakanishi (1997) is a new type of AHP-Analytic Hierarchy Process-designed to deal with the case in which the weights of criteria vary in accordance with the alternative chosen as the dominant viewpoint.
When conducting continuous surveys, additional data from the latest survey have to be reflected into the result of the previous survey in a certain scheme. This paper proposes “concurrent convergence” as a processing technique for additional data in an application of the dominant alternative method. This technique enables us to reserve the essential features of the dominant alternative method.
