About the possibility to apply quantitative and qualitative methods, Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Analytic Network Process (ANP) to physical culture sciences
Journal Title: Antropomotoryka. Journal of Kinesiology and Exercise Sciences - Year 2011, Vol 21, Issue 53
Abstract
The authors have drawn attention to the dominant significance, which representatives of cultural sciences have attached to interdisciplinary context of research work in conviction that this is the best way to gain the knowledge about their study subjects. Currently, valuable data can be collected by applying the most appropriate method or combination of methods. Very often, the data, which has been obtained with the help of one method, needs to be verified by another one. The review has given proof that most valuable methods are distinguished due to: the way of inference (deductive, inductive, analog methods), formalization and problem solving (deterministic methods based on probability distribution), analytical and synthetic approach to the subject of research (analytical methods and systems approach) as well as the way of measurements (quantitative, qualitative and multicriteria methods). The authors, basing on a critical evaluation of all above mentioned qualitative, quantitative methods, have underlined the importance of multicriteria decision support method, especially developed by Saaty [1, 2, 3, 4] in scientific research, highlighting the importance of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Analytical Process Network (ANP).
