Table 1 9-point scale table.
From: Predicting water-conducting fracture zone height in three-soft coal seams using a BOA-MLP model
Scale Value | Interpretation |
|---|---|
1 | A and B are equally important |
3 | A is slightly more important than B |
5 | A is strongly more important than B |
7 | A is very strongly more important than B |
9 | A is extremely more important than B |
2, 4, 6, 8 | Intermediate values between adjacent judgments |
Reciprocal | If A/B = a, then B/A = 1/a |
