THE USE OF ANALYTIC HIERARCHY PROCESS FOR PREDICTION

In literature Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is used for decision making. Reliability of the AHP in decision making is proven with many applications. In many prediction processes, Back-Propagation Multi-Layer Perceptron (BPMLP) is a proven and reliable method. A new system for prediction is proposed which uses basic principles of AHP with alterations on criteria and alternative weight determination. Comparison of the prediction results obtained from well known BPMLP and modified AHP showed that; it is possible to use AHP framework for prediction as well.
