Good day professor. @5:58 for normalizing the matrix. In the Camera column, you used 7 as the divisor. was that a mistake? because the total for camera shows 5.83. Thanks for the video sir
U came back to your video to say thanks for making this. I saw much stuff on the net for AHP but this is the top simple way of teaching you told. It helped me a lot. Really thanks
Such a neet and clean explanation..this hepls me to clear my concepts...thank you so much sir...May god bless you..keep helping us whenever you have time .
Hello! I am writing a graduation paper, part of which touched on this method, and unfortunately there are practically no videos on this topic in Russian(((( You helped me a lot, thank you!!!
hi Manoj, very understanding your explanation. thanks for the video, since in my master degree I’m studying this topic right now And I was a bit confused, now is crystal clear.
I like the explanation again :) thank you. I wanted to add that there are different methods to calculate the criteria weights. one of the most common ones is the eigenvalue.
Thank You for this video. I have finally understood the AHP concept from this after a struggle of many days at many places. I have cleared all my confusion as to how I can proceed with my research.
clean & Clear. couple of questions 1. What is i have more than 15 criteria to evaluate ? -> what will be the RI value for n > 15 2. how about selecting the alternatives ? -> after validating the criteria we should look at choosing alternative right ?
This is a great tutorial; but I think you may have an error in the fractions in your pair-wise comparison matrix. In the Camera column, the sum is 5.83, but you have divided through by 7. That makes a difference in the calculations going forward.
Thanks for posting this video. It has been informative. Would you please explain in a bit more detail how RI is obtained? I'm a bit confused on that part. Thank you.
Ok. As a layman, I have been searching for this model since I ran an audit department and we collaborated on what risk factors were more important than others. In the book that I used then, the author said to determine the eigenvalues (sorry of I’m not stating this correctly). I have the following questions. What are the eigenvalues in this example, if there are even eigenvalues? It seems to me all I needed to do back then was calculate the weights and there’s my answer as to risk rankings. Why would I need to carry the exercise to a point where I had to school myself back then on what an eigenvalue even was? I have always been upset at the author then for not showing the math. All he said was “calculate the eigenvalues.” Thank you.
Thanks for sharing. What is purpose of defining consistency. Pls make special video about consistency. What, when and how inconsistency. How to find out precisely in which part there is a source of consistency. Thanks
As the name itself suggest that consistency defines correctness of pairwise comparisons matrix. I will try to make a video on that also explaining the random index
@@manojmathew5287 I Cant get consistency ratio less than 1. I have tried 2 different types of combination in assigning pairs but the result is higher than 1
Thank you sir. After determining the weights of the criteria and performing the consistency test, how do we choose the phone according to the AHP method?
I'm pretty sure for about 1/3 of the squares he just threw in a random opinion on those ones to avoid calculations since it was all opinion-based from 1 to 9. That's how I've rationalized my confusion with the video. Because..man I was confused for most of it
Good day Professor. This video is well presented thank you. I used the same in actual for supplier KPI however CR resulted to more than. 10 meaning it's not consistent but I painstakingly followed as instructed. How to resolve inconsistency?
Thank you Manoj Mathew, really useful and well explained videos. Can I apply those methods AHP & Multi criterion on assessing 'experience-based' design of an urban space ? I have different variables such as cost ($), area (m2), number of seats (no), intensity of use (score) & user satisfaction at the environment (score)
Yes you can use these methods depending upon the requirement. please visit my webpage for more information mathewmanoj.wordpress.com/multi-criteria-decision-making/
Good Day Sir, thank you very much for your video. I have but one question. At the End we have calculated our decision weights, how are we then doing the comparison of alternatives?
@Freakschwimmer please watch my other videos on AHP to understand more about the method. ruclips.net/video/tlK5mVHMkUo/видео.html ruclips.net/video/VTZft7SpV0g/видео.html Hope this will solve all your doubts
Hi Professor. First of all, thank you very much for the clear explanation. I have a question. So, at the end you found the criteria weights and said this can be used for further calculation. Don't those criteria weights give us the final ranking? or the final ranking can only be calculated with the help of TOPSIS method? Can't we get the final ranking without using the TOPSIS method? Thank you in advance.
In the video I have only show the method to calculate weights. There are further calculation in AHP which give the final ranking of alternative. I have not shown it in the video.
@@manojmathew5287 Dear prof. could you please write here just the names of the steps after getting the criteria weights to get the final ranking? (by using only AHP method)
There are two type of problem: 1. Prioritisation of factors/criteria in which you need to rank the factors/criteria affecting the goal. 2. Ranking the alternative in which you find the best alternative by ranking them. Please refresh the link for more details on ranking alternative. ruclips.net/video/AlWdd-fEdjg/видео.html
Thanks for the video. I would like to ask for the case where the paired comparison takes place for many different stakeholders. Each stakeholder would provide a different matrix. How can I integrate all of those into one matrix? Should I average the matrices at the beginning or the final criteria weights at the end?
@ilias you can integrate pairwise comparison matrix of different stakeholders and combine them into one pairwise comparison matrix using geometric mean. Don't take average.
@@manojmathew5287 Thanks for your reply! Therefore, I will estimate the consistency ratio only once for the combined matrix. What is the reasoning for using the geometric mean?
@ilias : If the pairwise comparison matrix of individual stakeholders are consistent then the combined pairwise comparison matrix (created using geometric mean) will also be consistent, which may not be true in case of arithmetic mean.
Professor Manoj, I would like to know the principle how to consolidate the data from two or more AHP expert opinions. It would be great if you post a video about that.
Suppose you have 3 experts then, you will get 3 pairwise comparison matrix. You can aggregate the 3 pairwise comparison matrix and form a single combined pairwise comparison matrix by geometric mean.
Hi, thank you so much for your explanation but may you tell me from which references you could get this point that we can compute the consistency index and Geomean in Fuzzy AHP
8:52 where did Random Index came from? How did you come up to that values? And where did you get that 0.10 value? Hope you can answer mi ASAP. Thank you professor.
Hello. Values of RI are standardized. You can check any references. However, when I did check them, some have slightly different RI values from Saaty. But as the sample increases, the values become closer to each other :)
Hey, I am also stuck at the same point. Did you figure that out, how to use this weightage for further process as data is in different units? It would be great if you could help me
Thank you sir. Great way of explanation. Please clear my doubt that-From exam point of view how can we assign weights in the initial matrix to get consistent value of CR(CI÷RI)?
Thank you for uploading this video. It really helped! I would like to ask why you didn't take into account cost columns - ones we want to have the lower value as beneficial, not higher - in normalization part? When it was considered, consistency_ratio changes pretty obviously. Thanks in advance for any response
According to your teaching, the value of the lower triangular matrix should be an inverse to the upper triangular matrix (Ex. 5 and 1/5, 4 and 1/4) Can this rule be breached? Because I saw some table of AHP research papers that the value isn't inversed. (Ex. if use your example, row12 is 5 but row21 is not 1/5, it is something else) I am very confuse. I don't know if it is a typo in those paper or there is extra rules that I don't know. Please answer, thank you very much
For pair-wise comparison, the levels should be described in relative terms that imply how important is one related to the other, such as: Slightly more important, Moderately more, Much more, Extremely More (Equal is Ok). The explanation given uses absolute terms (Moderate Importance, Strong Importance, Very Strong Importance, ) which do not describe a relationship, but an absolute value compared to some external idea.
Good day professor. @5:58 for normalizing the matrix. In the Camera column, you used 7 as the divisor. was that a mistake? because the total for camera shows 5.83. Thanks for the video sir
Ya that's a typographical mistake which i missed. Thanks for identifying the error. Although the further calculations are all right.
Yes, I did find this too.
Thank you sir for your explanation! This is the first resource I got where I could understand all the terms of AHP. You have saved me !
