Abstract
The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) has been applied widely in various decision making fields. One of advantages of the AHP is the consistency test. However, it has several problems such as the limit of its concept, the limit of 9 scales and stern criteria, contradictory pairwise comparison. In this paper, we propose new criteria for the consistency with more realistic and ideal conditions. To derive the criteria, we conduct the simulation and use the bootstrap method, which is one of resampling techniques in the simulation area.
