Supporting pairwise comparisons method by internet services

Abstract

The pairwise comparisons method helps us with decision-making that involves multiple criteria. The consistency-driven pairwise comparisons method has been proven to be especially helpful with inconsistent data. By combining the pairwise comparisons method with nowadays’ advanced web technology, the decision-making process is simplified. This thesis integrates the theory of the pairwise comparisons method, and Koczkodaj’s inconsistency measurement, and reduction algorithms into an online implementation. The implementation utilizes JavaScript and its technologies, CSS, and HTML. It also uses version control technologies like GitHub and GitHub Pages. GitHub is a platform and cloud-based service for software development and version control. GitHub pages provide online access to develop software.
