Metrics |
The question is how does the Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP) help to build the Standard Value Matrix in TrueValueMetrics. The best way to appreciate an AHP type methodology in TVM is to use it. |
The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is a theory of relative measurement of intangible criteria. With this approach to relative measurement, a scale of priorities is derived from pairwise comparison measurements only after the elements to be measured are known. The ability to do pairwise comparisons is our biological heritage and we need it to cope with a world where everything is relative and constantly changing and thus, there are no fixed standards to measure things on. In traditional measurement, one has a scale that one applies to measure any element that comes along that has the property the scale is for, and the elements are measured one by one, not by comparing them with each other. In the AHP, paired comparisons are made with judgments using numerical values taken from the AHP absolute fundamental scale of 1 to 9.
A scale of relative values is derived from all these paired comparisons and it also belongs
to an absolute scale that is invariant under the identity transformation like the system of
real numbers. The AHP is useful for making multicriteria decisions involving benefits,
opportunities, costs, and risks. The ideas are developed in stages and illustrated with
examples of real-life decisions. The subject is transparent and easy to understand why
it is done the way it is along the lines discussed here. The AHP has a generalization to
dependence and feedback; the Analytic Network Process (ANP) is not discussed here.
An example of the use of AHP is to be found at the following URL: |

SITE COUNT< Blog Counters Reset to zero January 20, 2015 | TrueValueMetrics (TVM) is an Open Source / Open Knowledge initiative. It has been funded by family and friends. TVM is a 'big idea' that has the potential to be a game changer. The goal is for it to remain an open access initiative. |
WE WANT TO MAINTAIN AN OPEN KNOWLEDGE MODEL | A MODEST DONATION WILL HELP MAKE THAT HAPPEN | |
