Saaty’s analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is widely used in many decision-making problems such as a choice of alternatives, prioritization, or ranking. Despite being a valuable tool based on pairwise comparisons of a set of alternatives the method is strongly connected with numeric or linguistic descriptors of the preferences. This can form a limitation to the users who do not feel comfortable with numbers or words strictly related with the articulation of the meaning of preference, i.e., with a predefined scale. Therefore, in this study, we develop a comprehensive approach based on a simple graphic interface. The results and their consistency as well as stability of the method are examined. Moreover, through a suite of experiments we observe how the method works when a group of experts does not provide answers to all questions. Finally, we analyze four variants of non-linear transforms which are used to minimize the inconsistency ratio of the AHP (fuzzy AHP) process.

Saaty的层次分析法（AHP）广泛用于许多决策问题，例如选择替代方案，确定优先次序或排名。尽管它是基于一组备选方案的成对比较的有价值的工具，但是该方法与偏好的数字或语言描述符紧密相关。这可能对那些对数字或单词感到不舒服的用户构成限制，这些数字或单词与偏好含义的表达紧密相关，即具有预定的比例。因此，在这项研究中，我们开发了基于简单图形界面的综合方法。检查结果及其一致性和方法的稳定性。此外，通过一组实验，我们观察了当一组专家未提供所有问题的答案时该方法的工作原理。最后，
