DEVELOPMENT OF THE ANALYTIC HIERARCHY PROCESS UNDER COLLECTIVE
DECISION-MAKING BASED ON AGGREGATED MATRICES OF PAIRWISE COMPARISONS

Abstract. An approach to collective decision-making based on the analytic hierarchy process is proposed. This approach is based on the mechanism of constructing aggregated matrices of pairwise comparisons. The key point of this mechanism is to reconcile the polar opinions of experts on the preference of alternatives. Such harmonization of opinions is implemented by choosing the most fair hypothesis. The basis for this choice is the degree of confidence in the validity of this hypothesis. The degree of confidence is calculated using the Shortliff combination function. Coordination of polar opinions of experts is a computational model of group choice, which is an independent component and can be used as a basis for the development of collective decision-making procedures. In general, the proposed approach is quite natural and easy to use and harmoniously forms a single whole within the analytic hierarchy process.

Keywords: collective decision-making, ranking, expert, hierarchy analysis method, confidence coefficients.
