Recap: How the Process Works
(1) Determine the weights. The weights can be absolute or relative. Weights encompass two parts -- the quantitative weight and the current evaluation of its importance towards explaining the objective.
(2) Once the weighting scheme is determined [shown in matrix A], solve the linear equation (or use approximation methods):
A w = max w that is, (A - max I) w = 0If this equation has a nonzero solution for w, then max [which is a scalar] is said
to be an eigenvalue or characteristic value of A [which is an n x n matrix of pairwise comparisons] and w [which is an n x 1 matrix] is said to be an
eigenvector belonging to . I is the identity matrix, which is a diagonal matrix with the main diagonal terms equal to 1 and zero elsewhere.
(3) The solution provides the answer to the most likely outcome, given your judgmental rankings of all the individual criteria.

Multiply by w

Approximation & Exact Methods to Derive a Solution
1. Normalize the geometric means of the rows. This result coincides with the eigenvector solution when n 3.
2. Normalize the elements (first) in each column of the judgment matrix and then average over each row. A simple way to obtain an
estimate of max , if the exact value of w [an n x 1 matrix] is available in normalized form, is to add the columns of A and
multiply the resulting vector by the priority vector w.
3. Use linear algebra to solve for the eigenvector and normalize the values for max .

• How consistent are the inputs? In the application of AHP it is possible that inconsistent judgments of input desirability may have crept into the process. For example, the original matrix, A, may not have full transitivity -- that is, A(1) may be preferred to A(2) and A(2) to A(3), but A(3) may be preferred to A(1).
• To determine how much inconsistency is in the A matrix, Saaty defined a measure of deviation from consistency, called a consistency index, as: C.I. = (max - N)/(N-1), where N is the dimension of the matrix.
• Then, Saaty calculated a consistency ratio (C.R.) as the ratio of the C.I. to a random index (R.I.) which is the average C.I. of sets of judgments (from a 1 to 9 scale) for randomly generated
reciprocal matrices.

Six Primary Indicators of Future Spot Exchange Rates: (1) Relative interest rates (INTRAT); (2) Forward exchange rate biases (FDBIAS); (3) Official exchange market intervention (EXCINT); (4) Relative degree of confidence in the U.S. economy (CONFUS); (5) the size and recent direction of the U.S. current account balance (CURBAL); (6) Past behavior of exchange rates (PASREC).
