4 Pairwise comparison motivation FED Museum Atlanta To start the story from the very beginning 4

5 Pairwise comparison motivation Before money - barter (see FED Museum: History of trade is in fact history of pairwise comparisons? 5

6 Pairwise comparison motivation Barter - comparing incomparable it s hard to judge the actual value of things, hence the judgment is always subjective 6

7 1 2 Pairwise comparison motivation Experts judgment implies relative value of goods: 7

8 Pairwise comparison motivation More comparisons a b c d? 8

9 Pairwise comparison motivation The need for methods of synthesis of partial results? 9

10 Pairwise comparison motivation Problems with expert judgments Reciprocity Consistency =? = a, = b? = ab 10

11 Pairwise comparison Method 11

12 Pairwise comparisons (PC) method Result synthesis Pairwise comparisons matrix M = 1 m 12 m 13 m 14 m 15 m 21 1 m 23 m 24 m 25 m 31 m 32 1 m 34 m 35 m 41 m 42 m 43 1 m 45 m 51 m 52 m 53 m 54 1 where m ij R + 12

13 PC method Classical (eigenvalue based) approach Classical approach by Thomas Saaty Assumption matrix must be reciprocal i.e. Value quantification: Method of synthesis: m ij = 1 m ji m ij { a b :a,b {1,,10} } Finding a principal eigenvector x: Mx = λ max x Saaty, T. L., "A scaling method for priorities in hierarchical structures", Journal of Mathematical Psychology (1977),

14 PC method Classical approach Relative value of,,,,, is given as: or even better, as rescaled principal eigenvector: where: x = [ x 1, x 2,, x ] 5 ˆx = [ ˆx 1, ˆx 2,, ˆx ] 5 ˆx i = x i 5 j=1 x j 14

15 PC method Classical approach It is possible to determine the relative value of goods? 15

16 PC Method Problem What happen when some goods are exchanged for money? E.g.: = = 16

17 PC Method Problem What happen when some goods are exchanged for money? E.g.: Then: = $10 = $20 =

18 PC method Standard approach Standard answer Let us adopt that: = 1 2 then calculate the numerical ranking of goods In result, every good will gain some weight (rank position) 18

19 PC method Heuristic Rating Estimation (HRE) approach Let us do not (re) introduce the weights where they are given (here the order is introduced by value in Dollars) but instead Adopt the given values as reference and estimate the others Kułakowski, K., "Heuristic Rating Estimation Approach to The Pairwise Comparisons Method", CoRR 2013, (to be appeared in Fundamenta Informaticae) 19

20 PC method HRE approach Set of concepts: where C = C K C U C K means the set of concepts (alternatives) for which the value µ is initially known C U means the set of concepts (alternatives) for which µ need to be determined 20

21 PC method HRE approach HRE Input Known concepts C K = {, } where µ( ) = 10, µ( ) = 20 Unknown concepts C U = {,, } 21

22 PC method HRE approach result synthesis Pairwise comparisons matrix c 1 c 2 c 3 c 4 c 5 M = c 1 c 2 c 3 c 4 c 5 1 m 12 m 13 m 14 m 15 m 21 1 m 23 m 24 m 25 m 31 m m 35 m 41 m m 45 m 51 m 52 m 53 m 54 1 Known where m ij R + 22

23 PC method HRE approach result synthesis algorithm Input data c 5 m 15 m 52 m 51 m 12 m 25 m 21 c m 53 m 35 m 45 m 54 1 c 2 m 41 m 23 m 13 m 31 m m 24 m m µ(c c c 4 3 ) = 20 3 µ(c 4 ) = 10 23

24 PC method HRE iterative approach result synthesis algorithm First step We may expect that: c 5 µ(c 1 ) = 1 ( 2 m 13µ(c 3 ) + m 14 µ(c 4 )) c 1 c 2 µ(c 2 ) = 1 ( 2 m 23µ(c 3 ) + m 24 µ(c 4 )) c 3 c 4 KNOWN µ(c 5 ) = 1 ( 2 m 53µ(c 3 ) + m 54 µ(c 4 )) 24

25 PC method HRE iterative approach result synthesis algorithm Second step and further Let us take into account all other concepts but the estimated one: µ(c 1 ) = 1 4 and in general: 5 i=2 m 1i µ(c i ) c 5 c 1 c 2 µ(c j ) = 1 4 i {1,,5}\{ j} m ji µ(c i ) c 3 c 4 25

26 PC method HRE iterative approach result synthesis algorithm Update equation in r = 0,1,2, update step where µ r (c j ) = 1 C j r 1 m ji µ r 1 (c i ) r 1 c i C j C j r 1 = {c C : µ r 1 (c) is defined and c c j }, and C j 0 = df C K 26

27 PC method HRE iterative approach result synthesis algorithm Assuming that the relative value of concepts is given as: C K = {c k+1,,c n } µ = [µ(c 1 ),,µ(c k ) ## "## $,µ(c ),,µ(c ) k+1 n ##" ## $ ] C U (HRE procedure) Rescaling (normalization) ˆµ = [ ˆµ(c 1 ),, ˆµ(c n )] C K (a priori known) where ˆµ(c i ) = µ(c ) i n µ(c j ) j=1 27

28 PC method HRE iterative approach What is µ when the number of iterations tends to? 28

29 PC method From iterative procedure to linear equation The algorithm as shown above follows the Jacobi iterative method for the linear equation system in form: where: Aµ = b A is a matrix of r r where r = C C K b is a vector of constant terms µ is a vector: = C U µ T = [ µ(c 1 ),,µ(c k )] 29

30 PC method From iterative procedure to linear equation b - vector of constant terms is given as: b = 1 n 1 m 1,k+1µ(c k+1 ) n 1 m 1,nµ(c n ) 1 n 1 m 2,k+1µ(c k+1 ) n 1 m 2,nµ(c n ) 1 n 1 m k,k+1µ(c k+1 ) n 1 m k,nµ(c n ) note that (assumed for the sake of simplicity): C = {c 1,,c n } and C K = {c k+1,,c n } 30

31 PC method From iterative procedure to linear equation A The matrix used by the HRE approach is: A = 1 1 n 1 m 1,2 1 n 1 m 1,k 1 n 1 m 2,1 1 1 n 1 m 2,3 1 n 1 m 2,k " # " " # " 1 n 1 m k,1 1 n 1 m k,k

32 PC method Direct solving The equation: Aµ = b can also be solved directly. 32

33 PC method Direct solving theorems and facts Theorem 1 Equation Aµ = b has exactly one solution if det(a) 0 Theorem 2 The Jacobi method is convergent if A is strictly diagonally dominant by rows i.e. for i = 1,,k k 1 > a ij j=1, j i 33

34 PC method Direct solving admissibility of solution Observation - result must be positive µ(c i ) > 0 for i = 1,,n i.e. That is because of the form of update equation: µ r (c j ) = 1 C j r 1 A m ji µ r 1 (c i ) r 1 c i C j Observation - is strictly diagonally dominant, then µ obtained using direct method is admissible 34

35 PC method Direct solving solution admissibility Is diagonally dominant? i.e. Observation A A has a high chance to be diagonally dominant when are not to large. a ij Conclusion k 1 > a ij where a ij = 1 n 1 m ij j=1, j i The more concepts in C K and the more similar to each other the better (the more likely is diagonally dominant) A 35

36 PC method Intuitiveness of assumptions The more concepts in Corresponds to the natural desire to have more than the lower number of reference concepts The more similar to each other. Humans (experts) are able to compare (judge) similar things but not different. Observation C K In most cases tested the matrix was diagonally dominant A 36
