Description
Mahdi Ranjbar and Sohrab Effati wrote a 2023 methods paper on group choices made with the analytic hierarchy process. The process ranks options by comparing them in pairs. Their focus is the case where experts are unsure of their own scores, so a single crisp number does not fit what each expert thinks.
The authors use hesitant fuzzy numbers, which let one score hold several values at once. They define when such a paired matrix counts as consistent, and they give rules for adding and comparing these numbers. A worked example then turns the scores into a final rank for the options. The results suggest the method keeps more of what the experts said than older ways do.
