Assessment Of Performance Of An Individual Player In Kabaddi With The Help Of Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP)

摘要

Assessment of individual performance of a player in a team game is a complex task. But this measurement is essential to ascertain the impact of several factors on performance of a player in that game, and in turn to formulate strategies of selection of player and coaching them. Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), a multi-criteria decisionmaking approach and a decision support tool, has been introduced by Saaty in 1977. A multi-level hierarchical structure of objectives, criteria, sub-criteria, and alternatives are used here and the weights of importance of the decision criteria are obtained by pair-wise comparisons. Attacking and defending, the two main criteria have the weights 0.70 and 0.30 respectively. There are ten sub-criteria of attacking and seven sub-criteria in defending. The weights of importance of the decision criteria are obtained by pair-wise comparisons. A complex decision making task such as assessment of individual performance in a team game can be successfully done by using AHP.
