Abstract

It is pointed out that multi-criteria ranking metric transformation is realized by matrix multiplication in AHP is wrong. In fact this kind of transformation is concerned with path. Multi-criteria ranking is multipath. Multipath ranking metric transformation is nonlinear and can't use matrix multiplication. So ranking metric is mapped into high dimensional spaces and is expressed by uncertain membership vector. Then ranking metric transformation is changed into membership transformation. It is proved that membership transformation is nonlinear and can be realized by classification weight filter. Nonlinear ranking model of multi-criteria is built up.

Key words

AHP / multi-criteria ranking / ranking metric transformation / nonlinear / classification weight filter
