Note(s): This table presents the total deviation (⁠TD⁠) comparison between AHP and AHP-BWM for the cases that Criteria=3⁠. For the cases that Criteria>3⁠, AHP-BWM produces 100% results with lower TD values than AHP and is thus not reported. Observations represents the group size of the number of alternatives, and K denotes the number of simulations
