In AHPGaussian: New Multicriteria Method: AHPGaussian

ahpgaussian

The AHPGaussian package provides functions for performing the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) using a Gaussian-based approach. AHP is a widely used decision-making method that helps to prioritize alternatives based on a set of criteria. This package implements the AHP method using Gaussian normalization to derive the relative weights of the criteria and alternatives. It also includes functions for visualizing the AHP results and generating graphical outputs.

Installation

You can install the development version of ahpgaussian from GitHub with:

install.packages("AHPGaussian")
# or
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("cidedson/ahpgaussian")

Example

This is a basic example which shows you how to solve a common problem:

library(ahpgaussian)

ws <- ahpgaussian(warships)
