POO-LPSP: Parallel Osprey Optimized Least Penalty-Squared Prioritization Methods for Priority Derivation in the Analytic Hierarchy Process
Pairwise comparison (PC) via pairwise reciprocal matrices (PRMs) is central to the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). Although the traditional eigenvector method is widely applied to derive priorities, its theoretical robustness in reflecting true priority vectors remains debated. Building upon a previous iteration of this study, this research develops the revised Least Penalty-Squared Prioritization (LPSP) optimization models, including the revised Least Product of Penalty and Direct Squares (LPPDS) and revised Weighted Squares (LPPWS), to minimize the revised Root Mean Penalty-Squared Variance (RMPSV) and the revised Root Mean Penalty-Weighted Square Variance (RMPSWV). However, solving t...
