Using multi-attribute utility theory and the analytic hierarchy process, perform a 3-level hierarchy model to analyze and select a graduate program.

Explain your assumptions and indicate which technique you believe is most appropriate for this application. (Figures 6.2 and 6.8 from the course text book may help).

depending on technique used. In Figure 6.2, eight attributes are used to quantify the value model. They may be represented by a 8-component vector: x=(x1,x2,x3, x4,5 x 6.x7.x8). A specific occurrence of an attribute is called a state. An attribute state for the objective "minimize fuel consumption" might be x 3 =35 miles per gallon.
