A Study on the Validity of Sharing Work of Pairwise Comparison Method

摘要

In pairwise comparison method like AHP, the more alternatives are, the heavier decision maker's burden is. We concentrate on the problem of lessening the heavy burden of a decision maker by sharing pairwise comparisons among referees employed for that purpose. We propose an allocation method, and demonstrate its validity. It is expected that the result of the judgement differs from each other according to the chosen allocation pattern. We want to assess the deviation of the results for all the allocation patterns through simulations.
