Abstract
It is author’s another article in the series of publications to develop the previously formulated core and two fundamental provisions of the method of effective projects selection through different solutions of modification of the method of analysis of hierarchies (AHP) for financial, mathematical and other fields in science. The author paid special attention to improving the accuracy of measurements of matrix, normalized and vector estimates for the development of universal properties of AHP due to the following solutions with different qualities of scientific novelty: introduction of new formulas for calculating matrix estimates with detailed instructions for their application; offers nine different variants of AHP combinations, each including four classifiers (AHPMS-M1.N, AHPMS(AM) - M1.N, FAHPMS-M1.N and AHPDD-M1.N) on the basis of integer and fractional T. Saati 9-point scale with eight measurement intervals. This article presents a volumetric experimental data, which proved the scientific validity of these and previously disclosed solutions having scientific novelty in the direction of improving the accuracy of measurements in the AHP using different modifications of the first generation. The results of the experiment really allowed us to find and prove the validity of applying the measurement standard within science in the form of the 9 proposed combinations. The distinctive features of the reference combination are as follows: fractional scale [0; …;8]+1 in 9 main measurement intervals; when evaluating two equal objects (Ai(j)= Aj(i)), their matrix estimates are equal to units (0+1=1); these new solutions. Thus, the experimentally obtained and confirmed measurement standard from the first generation of AHP modifications is recommended to be used not only in the selection of effective projects, but also in other fields of science, taking into account its universal properties.
