Here we present a program to compute the analytic hierarchy process and output the confidence index alongside the individual weights.
Using material from
Saaty L. Thomas, The analytic hierarchy process: planning, priority setting, resource allocation, McGraw-Hill, 1980.
INPUT
B = [ B1 B2 B3 B4
B5 B6 B7 B8
B9 B10 B11 B12
B13 B14 B15 B16 ]
= [B]
OUTPUT
CONFIDENCE INDEX
WEIGHT OF EACH COLUMN FACTOR
2 → DIM(L6)
DIM([B]) → L6
L6(1)→M
0 → DIM(L6)
M → DIM(L6)
FOR(Q,1,M,1)
FOR(P,1,M,1)
[B](P,Q) + L6(Q) → L6(Q)
END
END
DIM([B]) → DIM([D])
FOR(Q,1,M,1)
FOR(P,1,M,1)
[B](P,Q)/L6(Q) → [D](P,Q)
END
END
0 → DIM(L6)
M → DIM(L6)
FOR(P,1,M,1)
FOR(Q,1,M,1)
[D](P,Q)+L6(P) → L6(P)
END
END
0 → DIM(L5)
L6/M → L6
M → DIM(L5)
FOR(P,1,M,1)
FOR(Q,1,M,1)
[B](P,Q)*L6(Q) + L5(P)→ L5(P)
END
END
L5/L6 → L5
0 → A
FOR(P,1,M,1)
L5(P) + A → A
END
A/M → A
(A-M)/(M-1) → A
