A model for the relative importance of the criteria in the multiplicative AHP and SMART

Article Abstract:

The problem of weighing the importance of criteria without considering the units of performance measurement or the performance of the alternatives is considered. To this end, the geometric-mean aggregation rule in the multiplicative Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and the arithmetic-mean aggregation rule in the Simple Multi-Attribute Rating Technique (SMART) are described. The two are suitable for distributed decision-making processes where the substitution rate between the relative gains and losses of the alternatives describe the relative importance of a pair of criteria.
