It yields a general solution and the steady-state probabilities. The AHP priority vector can be interpreted as these probabilities belonging to the discrete states corresponding to the compared items. The results of stochastic modeling correspond to robust estimations of priority vectors not prone to influence of possible errors among the elements of a pairwise comparison matrix.</p></div><div class="MsoTitle" style="margin: 12pt 0in 15pt;"> </div>}, number={2}, journal={International Journal of the Analytic Hierarchy Process}, author={Lipovetsky, Stan}, year={2015}, month={Aug.} }
