Calculation of results From the area measurements using simple arithmetic it is simple to calculate the concentration of each component as a percent of the total. %A = [Latex]\frac{Area of Peak A X 100}{Total Areas of Peaks (A + B + C + D)}[/latex] ...
To calculate weights, the AHP uses the eigenvalue method (4), where A is the comparison matrix, w is the eigenvector or preference vector, and λmax is the eigenvalue. 𝐴∗𝑤=𝜆𝑚𝑎𝑥∗𝑤A∗w=λmax∗w (4) This methodology provides a rational framework for decision...
