calculateWeights_old_methods {FuzzyAHP}

Function to calculate fuzzy weights based on comparison matrix using older approaches

Description

This functions calculates FuzzyWeights based on input fuzzy pairwise comparison matrix.

Usage

calculateWeights_old_methods(comparisonMatrix, type = "Chang")

## S4 method for signature 'FuzzyPairwiseComparisonMatrix'
calculateWeights_old_methods(comparisonMatrix, type = "Chang")

Arguments

comparisonMatrix

object of FuzzyPairwiseComparisonMatrix

type

A "character" representing type of method used for weights or fuzzy weights determination. Currently implemented methods are "Chang", "Wang" and "Tesfamariam". The default value is "Chang".

Value

FuzzyWeights. If fuzzy weighting vector is to be obtained please see calculate_weighting_vector function.
