I am currently investigating the application of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) with a specific focus on two criteria. I'm interested in understanding the feasibility of using AHP for weight calculations in a two-criteria context. According to Saaty's book (1980), the Random Index (RI) is zero for two criteria, potentially leading to inconsistent comparisons.
Are there any specific considerations or modifications that should be taken into account in such scenarios?
Yes, it is possible to apply the (AHP) to just two criteria to calculate their relative weights. It's typically used for larger, more complex decision-making scenarios with multiple criteria and alternatives, but it can be simplified for just two criteria.

Could you explain what yo say?
Are you asserting that if you have say 10 criteria, it is enough computing the weights of only two of them?
And what wejghts do you assign to the other 8 criteria?
Difficult to understand.
