ahp.mat: Generate AHP pairwise matrices from survey data
Description
ahp.mat takes in paired comparisons from survey data with questions using the
analytic hierarchy process and converts it into pairwise comparison matrices
for each individual decision-maker. Examples based on Saaty2004;textualahpsurvey.
a dataframe, each row corresponding to one decision-maker, with columns ordered according to atts.
atts
a list of attributes in the correct order
negconvert
logical, whether to convert all positive values to
negative. In the pairwise comparison A_B, if -6 denotes A is more
important than B by 6 units, set negconvert = TRUE.
reciprocal
logical, whether to convert negative values (after negconvert) to its reciprocal. If the comparison A_B where B is more important than A was already entered in its reciprocal (e.g. 1/6), choose reciprocal = FALSE. When reciprocal = FALSE, do not set negconvert = TRUE.
Value
A list of pairwise comparison matrices of each decision-maker.
