    How to Interpret AHP/ANP Application Results in a Really Meaningful Manner?
    (Wydawnictwa AGH, 2021) Ginda, Grzegorz
    Final decision recommendations rely heavily on ranking Decision-Making Units (DMUs), often achieved using Saaty’s Analytic Hierarchy/Network Process (AHP/ANP). AHP/ANP provides precise overall priority scores which decision-makers commonly treat as definitive for ranking purposes. This reliance means that even minimal numerical differences between DMUs are used to determine the final selection. However, this strict adherence to tiny numerical distinctions – disregarding the actual degree of difference – is problematic. Practically, it risks rejecting DMUs whose performance is only slightly inferior, methodologically, it contradicts the qualitative nature of the input (pairwise comparisons) with the quantitative output. This tension raises the question of achieving an adequate qualitative interpretation of the quantitative rankings. To resolve this, the paper proposes clustering approaches to help decision-makers reliably group and discriminate among similar DMUs. These methods aim to justify more informed choices by avoiding spurious precision. The approaches were tested using two diverse decision cases. The results are promising and indicate that these clustering techniques can be useful under certain specific circumstances.

    Opracowanie programu do grawimetrycznej interpretacji jakościowej
    (Data obrony: 2010-02-11) Jarosz, Grzegorz

    About the work is closely related to gravimetry, which is one of the geophysical methods. Gravimetry is based on the theory of gravity. The aim of this study was a qualitative interpretation of gravity survey. Therefore, I devoted part of my work for a better understanding of the theory of the program. While the second part is devoted to the source code of my application, and how they work. The program is called IntGrawit and is included on the CD that came to the thesis with source code.
