METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CONNECTING ANALYTIC NETWORK PROCESS MODEL (ANP) WITH FEEDBACK THROUGHOUT THE ANP MODEL BETWEEN SUB-NETWORKS
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented system for an analytic network process (ANP) control structure with feedback throughout the ANP control structure, comprising:
- an ANP control structure storage unit that stores an ANP control structure with feedback throughout the ANP control structure; and
a synthesizer that performs a BOCR calculation on the ANP control structure with feedback throughout the ANP control structure, to yield a result which is proper according to ANP theory when values are non-trivial.

Abstract
A computer-implemented system is provided for an analytic network process (ANP) control structure with feedback throughout the ANP control structure. The computer-implemented system includes an ANP control structure storage unit that stores an ANP control structure with feedback throughout the ANP control structure. Also included is a synthesizer that performs a BOCR calculation on the ANP control structure with feedback throughout the ANP control structure, to yield a result which is proper according to ANP theory when values are non-trivial. Also disclosed is a computer-implemented method for an analytic network process (ANP) control structure with feedback through the ANP control structure, and a related computer-readable storage medium encoded with a computer program.

7. A computer-implemented system for an analytic network process (ANP) control structure with feedback throughout the ANP control structure, comprising:
-
an ANP control structure storage unit that stores an ANP control structure with feedback throughout the ANP control structure; a synthesizer that performs a BOCR calculation on the ANP control structure with feedback throughout the ANP control structure, to yield a result which is proper according to ANP theory when values are non-trivial; an input unit configured to input, from an input device, pairwise comparisons for pairs of ANP alternatives into the stored ANP control structure representing, the pairwise comparisons representing a user'"'"'s judgment of priority between the ANP alternatives in the pair; and an output unit configured to output, for a display to a user, more than two contiguous levels of the ANP control structure with feedback, the stored ANP control structure being configured to include subnetworks according to ANP theory, one of the subnetworks being attached to a node-to-cluster connection in the ANP control structure stored in the ANP control structure storage unit instead of being attached to the node itself, the non-trivial values when the result is proper being when (i) non-zero ANP alternatives of invert and add, or positives minus negatives, are under costs or risks in the ANP control structure using a subtraction formula, or (ii) non-0.5 ANP alternatives are under costs or risks in the ANP control structure using a probabilistic formula.
