AHP in stata

[Hamid muili]

Is there any Stata package for estimating Analytic Hierarchy process (AHP).

This term was new to me. I found https://www.sciencedirect.com/scienc...70025587904738 as one reference -- which leads me to a guess that I wouldn't expect Stata code, except that if you used this framework, Stata would typically be helpful in analysing the results.

Then again, I am not at all clear what kind of command(s) you seek here.

EIther way

search analytic hierarchy process

in Stata yields nothing.

It is a multi criteria decision making method just like the new TOPSIS package in Stata. So I felt since we have Topsis, we might probably be having AHP too. Although its in other softwares like R and MATLAB..

Perhaps you should write a command to do this then.

The new TOPSIS package was introduced into Stata by Wang Qiang in Xi'an Jiaotong Univerity. I don't know whether he is interested in writting AHP. Maybe you can contact him by sending an email (see help file of topsis).
