1. An apparatus comprising:
- an analytic network process (ANP) storage memory that stores an ANP weighted supermatrix representing an ANP model; and
a processor in communication with the ANP storage memory, the processor being configured to facilitatemeasuring how alternatives synthesize with respect to a fixed node in the stored ANP weighted supermatrix to determine a perspective metric vector for the fixed node; and
maintaining a same proportionality in the stored ANP weighted supermatrix, while inducing a family of row perturbation changes within the ANP supermatrix by predetermined amounts of an ANP-row-family-parameter, for the measuring of the perspective metric vector for the fixed node.

Abstract
An apparatus includes an analytic network process (ANP) storage memory that stores an ANP weighted supermatrix representing an ANP model; and a processor in communication with the ANP storage memory. The processor is configured to facilitate measuring how alternatives synthesize with respect to a fixed node in the stored ANP weighted supermatrix to determine a perspective metric vector for the fixed node. Also, the processor maintains a same proportionality in the stored ANP weighted supermatrix for the measuring of the perspective metric vector for the fixed node.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium encoded with computer executable instructions, wherein execution of said computer executable instructions by one or more processors causes a computer to perform the steps of:
-
storing, in an analytic network process (ANP) storage memory, an ANP weighted supermatrix representing an ANP model; measuring how alternatives synthesize with respect to a fixed node in the stored ANP weighted supermatrix to determine a perspective metric vector for the fixed node; and maintaining a same proportionality in the stored ANP weighted supermatrix, while inducing a family of row perturbation changes within the ANP supermatrix by predetermined amounts of an ANP-row-family-parameter, for the measuring of the perspective metric vector for the fixed node. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
