Calculation method

Calculation method

Row-geometric priority weights

Take exp(mean(log(row entries))) and normalise across rows, scaling the exponentials for stability.

Approximate consistency index

For n>1, max(0,(average((A×w)i/wi)−n)/(n−1)); this uses geometric weights and is an approximation.

Largest log-ratio disagreement

Maximum |log(Aij)−log(wi/wj)|.

Average implied eigenvalue

Average component ratio (A×w)i/wi.

Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • A geometric-mean priority method for 1–10 reciprocal criteria. Diagnostics expose inconsistency; this is not an exact principal-eigenvector AHP calculation and no universal consistency-ratio threshold is assumed.
