physical measurements of some measurable factors Comparison for each factor» Subjective assessment (second stage)» physical measurement (third stage) 17/26
Results and discussion The results through questionnaire Results of first stage Table 2. Rank of factors from the questionnaire Table 3. Rank of adjectives from the questionnaire 18/26
The results from AHP Judging importance of factor Weight of factor where in m W ( c e ) m n in in i 1 n is importance of factor. c and e in are local priorities of corresponding elements of factor n in second and third levels obtained from subject i ( i 1,..., m).
