Does AHP Help Us Make a Choice? - An Experimental Evaluation
Ishizaka, Alessio; Balkenborg, Dieter; Kaplan, Todd R. - 2010
In this paper, we use experimental economics methods to test how well Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) fares as a choice support system in a real decision problem. AHP provides a ranking that we statistically compare with three additional rankings given by the subjects in the experiment: one at...
