Comparing aggregation methods in large-scale group AHP: Time for the shift to distance-based aggregation

作者:

Highlights:

• Euclidean Distance Based and Aitchison Distance Based Aggregation Methods presented.

• Efficiency examined by 96.000 simulation cases and by a real-world case study.

• In small dimensional cases both new methods overperform the conventional techniques.

• In high dimensional (7 to 9) cases Euclidean distance aggregation keeps its primacy.

• Both proposed methods have low computational time and high applicability.
