Greetings,
I would like to know what is the relevant aggregation method regarding conducting Focus Group to select an alternative in Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). The Focus Group includes Domain Experts and Academic Experts to address the problem of selecting the best alternative of available techniques. Normally, there are two fundamentally accepted aggregation methods within AHP, the Aggregation of Individual Judgments (AIJ) and the Aggregation of Individual Priorities (AIP). So, I would appreciate sharing knowledge about the relevant aggregation method and the justification for using this method. Additionally, is there any online software that could perform this aggregation automatically? Thank you.
Thank you Prof Dr. Theo,
I really appreciate your concern and your comprehensive response. I would like to emphasize on my confusion in two points sequentially. Firstly, focus group can be considered as homogeneous group and so it can be assumed that the focus group members will act like an individual which leads to using the Aggregation of Individual Judgments (AIJ). On the other hand, focus group members might have their own individual different views which leads to using the Aggregation of Individual Priorities (AIP). So, which point of view to consider. Thank you.
Thank you Prof Theo for your patience and I am grateful for your feedback.
