- 1.
Make sure not to misspell the word “Alternatives” otherwise Super Decisions v2 will report an error indicating that the Alternatives are missing in the hierarchical model.
- 2.
Be careful not to connect the “Buying a Car ” node to any other node but only those corresponding to the criteria. The software allows you to connect any node with any node but AHP modeling requires that the goal node is connected only to the criteria nodes (and each criterion only to the alternatives).
- 3.
Super Decisions v2 uses the label inconsistency to refer to AHP consistency ratio .
- 4.
One healthy practice is that upon completing the judgments in a given comparison matrix, you check the box “Completed comparison” on the lower right part of the screen. At the end, when you have entered judgments in all your comparison matrices following this procedure, you can go to the top bar menu, select “Computations ” followed by “Sanity Check ” and the software will indicate you if there is any comparison matrix you did not work upon (i.e., where the “Completed Comparison” box is unchecked).
- 5.
The Raw column in the priorities screenshot (rightmost column not shown in Fig. 3.22) is not used for AHP analysis.
- 6.
Given that there are 4 criteria, the way to distribute the weights equally among them is by performing the calculation 1/ 4 = 0.25. Should there be 5 criteria, the weight to distribute equally would be 1/5 = 0.2 and so on.
