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:
- a memory configured to store an ANP control structure; and
a processor cooperatively operable with the memory, the processor configured to;
store, in the memory, the ANP control structure with feedback throughout the ANP control structure;
store, in the ANP control structure, subnetworks according to ANP theory, one of the subnetworks being attached to a node-to-cluster connection in the ANP control structure instead of being attached to the node itself; and
perform a BOCR calculation on the ANP control structure with feedback throughout the ANP control structure, including a calculation on the node-to-cluster connection, to yield a result which is proper according to ANP theory when values used in the calculation 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.
