Abstract

Obtaining the value of the weights in any decision problem is of great importance, because it can change the course of action for the final decision. The value of these weights is approximate due to the vagueness and ambiguity of the data. Our study is based on the Analytic Hierarchy Process and its relation with the Prioritized Aggregation Operators. We propose their obtaining starting from a proportionality relationship, and we study the main properties of the prioritized operator with proportionality ratio and linear scale.
