The establishment of the priorities from pairwise comparison matrices is the major constituent of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). However, the number of pairwise comparisons necessary in real problems often becomes overwhelming. In such cases, generally the experts are not able to answer all questions and consequently sparse judgment matrix is generated which caused "equal ranks" and "rank reversal" based on AHP method. In this paper, a new ranking system (FARSJUM) is developed for such sparse judgment matrix. The system is constructed on fuzzy rules and fuzzy reasoning methods. The numerical example of world cup soccer tournament is brought to clarify the performance of the developed system comparing with AHP method in ranking the sparse judgment matrices.

Information attacks are a constant threat to every organization. To protect their sensitive information, organizations implement general information technology controls. An example of such controls includes system change controls (or change management controls), which are critical in ensuring the integrity, completeness, and reliability of financial information. The literature points to various evaluation methods of these controls to determine which ones to implement. The literature further shows how traditional assessment methods do not necessarily promote an effective evaluation, prioritization, and, therefore, implementation of system change controls in organizations. Alarming facts within the literature trigger analyses and identification of additional methods to assist organizations in protecting their sensitive and critical information. This research proposes a quantitative approach to assist management in evaluating system change controls using the Analytic Hierarchy Process. Through a case study, the approach is proven successful in providing a way for measuring the quality of system change controls in organizations.

Learning business Chinese through digital materials has become an inevitable tendency with the growth of the internet and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the increasing research-based publications and practices relating to Chinese language textbooks, there is a dearth of assessment indicators weight systems constructed by alternative research tools and statistical methods to evaluate the quality of the growing digital business Chinese materials. To the best of our knowledge, no literature review has been published on using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method to construct the assessment indicators of digital business Chinese materials. Therefore, this study aims to fill this gap by reviewing the existing, but limited, literature and providing recommendations for developing a checklist—based on the assessment indicators weight system—to evaluate digital business Chinese materials. The preliminary PC2U (Production, Content, Use, and Usefulness) assessment indicators are constructed based on the current research on business Chinese, CLTML, and relevant assessment indicators. In addition, the analysis hierarchy process (AHP) is used to construct the weight system. The results show that it is crucial to prioritize the access of digital business Chinese content. Of the three criteria in the content dimension, learning needs and credibility are equally important, and both are more important than data update. The assessment indicators are not only beneficial to fill the knowledge gap on business Chinese research, but also helpful for publishers and teachers to compile and select high quality digital business Chinese materials.

Test Adequacy

The traditional method of assessing software quality is through software testing. In the past two decades, numerous test criteria have been proposed. Although the generation and evaluation of a test set is important, the ultimate goal is to ensure the quality of the software under test. It is risky to validate software by using test sets with respect to an arbitrarily selected test adequacy criterion as it can lead to incorrect conclusions on the quality of the software. In this paper we examine how different test criteria can be combined into one measurement to assess the adequacy of test sets. Based on the subsumption relation between these criteria, a multi-criterion decision making method, Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), is used to determine the weight of each test adequacy criterion. A case study reported here suggests that the combined criterion so generated provides a more objective and precise measurement of the fault detection capability of test sets than does a single-member test criterion.

In the post WWW era, the research of e-learning focuses on facilitating intelligent and proactive services for learners. The quality of user experience determines whether e-learning services would be accepted by learners. However, many researchers traditionally focus on the effectiveness of computer systems or the accuracy of algorithms themselves rather than on user-centric psychological experience. How to model and evaluate user experience taking into account user psychological and cognitive properties are challenging research topics. There are some traditional methods typically proposed to evaluate users’ psychological experience, such as interview, questionnaire etc. They are qualitative and easy to conduct but need more time and resource. And they are liable to subjective views. Based on user web log data, the current paper presents a quantitative approach of modeling user psychological experience in the context of intelligent e-learning. The properties and elements, which affect user experience, are analyzed and quantified. The holistic user experience is quantified through the fusion of analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and Delphi methods. A case study, at a university in China, is conducted for diagnosing whether the result of the proposed approach can be uniform with user subjective experience, and indicates that the proposed approach is effective and complements existing user experience research in intelligent e-learning.

The selection of an appropriate coastal protection structure using multi-criteria analysis method AHP (analytic hierarchy process) was presented by a case study of a beach reconstruction in the Kostanj Bay (north-western part of Croatia). The newly designed beach (about 300 m long) will be formed on the western part of the bay by the additional filling of the natural rocky coastline with gravel and building reinforced concrete seawalls towards the sea. The beach will be protected by a submerged breakwater. Five different alternatives were analysed and defined by a different design of the protective breakwater. The first alternative, without the submerged breakwater, was considered as the baseline alternative. An additional four alternatives were examined based on four criteria and five sub-criteria, which considered the technical, economic, social and environmental impacts. The sensitivity of the ranking for the considered alternatives was analysed using five criteria importance scenarios.

Data mining has two main concepts of data distribution, namely supervised learning and unsupervised learning. The most easily recognizable concepts from data distribution is related to the dataset, with and without target class. Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) technique that carries the concept of pairwise comparison able to answer the problem related to the dataset, which is to change unsupervised to be supervised by determining eigenvalue value of each attribute and sub attribute in AHP method. The case study conducted in this issue is related to determining the target classes used to predict the success of a student learning in UIN Suska Riau. The three main attributes are Procrastination, Total Credits (SKS) and Number of Repeated Courses, each having eigenvalues of 0.319; 0.189 and 0.171 which become the feedback in the determination of the Target Timely Graduation (TG) or Possibility of Timely Graduation (PTG). The biggest consistency ratio generated in the AHP case is 9.4% in the GPA attribute. This research recommends that further research should use datasets that have been arranged based on experimental combinations of the three main attributes above, then applied to the classification or prediction algorithm. So that it would obtain a decision of accuracy from data used against the real result on the field.<div style="mso-element: comment-list;"><div style="mso-element: comment;"><div id="_com_2" class="msocomtxt"><!--[if !supportAnnotations]--></div><!--[endif]--></div></div>

The purpose of the present study is to use Geographical Information Systems (GISs) for determining the best areas having ground water potential in Baft city. To achieve this objective, parameters such as precipitation, slope, fault, vegetation, land cover and lithology were used. Regarding different weight of these parameters effect, Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was used. After developing informational layers in GIS and weighing each of them, a model was developed. The final map of ground waters potential was calculated through the above-mentioned model. Through applying our developed model four areas having high, average, low potential and without required potential distinguished. Results of this research indicated that 0.74, 41.23 and 45.63 percent of the area had high, average and low potential, respectively. Moreover, 12.38% of this area had no potential. Obtained results can be useful in management plans of ground water resources and preventing excessive exploitation.

This research addresses the importance of tax holidays in the subsidiary location decisions of U.S.-based multinationals. The study uses the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) as a basis for the development and analysis of the importance of location and firm-specific factors in multinationals' plant location decisions. Sixty-six experienced tax executives of major U.S.-based multinationals were asked to review a case study involving a subsidiary plant location scenario and to evaluate the relative importance of all of the relevant location-specific factors using the AHP method of pairwise comparisons. The results indicate that tax holidays are rated among the lower half of a set of 29 factors that firms consider. However, when tax holidays are relevant they act as an incentive to investment rather than discouraging it. The availability of tax-sparing credits and the firm's foreign tax credit status have little impact in making tax holidays more influential relative to other decision factors.

Abstract Introduction Haemodialysis is one of the methods of renal replacement therapy which is most frequently used in Poland and in the world in patients with chronic and acute renal failure. Purpose: An attempt was made to have patients undergoing regular haemodialysis assess the results of activity of dialysis centres. Methods 64 patients (30 women, 34 men, age: 50.2 +/- 11.9 years) undergoing dialysis therapy in three selected dialysis centres in Poland were included in the study. A questionnaire correlated with the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) was employed for the assessment. The dialysis centres were assessed by the patients in the context of availability of services, communication between the medical staff and the patient and the treatment used. Two sub-criteria were connected with each criterion, for which significance (priorities) indicating a dependent impact on the assessment of the quality of dialysis centres was calculated. Results From amongst four domains of the assessment of dialysis centres, the patients rated medical care and nursing care the highest (w = 0.386), where medical care had significance equal to 0.455, and nursing care had significance equal to = 0.545. The next important part of the assessment of dialysis centres was communication between the medical staff and the patient (w = 0.321) and the treatment used (haemodialysis) (w = 0.155). Availability of services had the lowest significance (w = 0.138), including performance of examinations for kidney transplant and medical transport for haemodialysis. Conclusions The assessment of dialysis centres using the AHP method should be part of the therapeutic process where one needs to emphasise the role of the patient in chronic nephrological care which translates into the quality of services provided by dialysis centres. Key messages The assessment of dialysis centres using the AHP method should be part of the therapeutic process. The patient’s role and its good assessment in the treatment process is very important.
