Abstract
This paper describes main features of Multichoice, a new version of software for multi-criteria decision analysis with ANP/AHP. Multichoice has been developed by authors at the Central Institute of Economics and Mathematics of the Russian Academy of Science in Moscow in 2016, and is the first software for ANP in Russia (available in Russian and English). The paper outlines the main steps of ANP technology: model constructing, relative and absolute evaluating, synthesizing, visualizing and importing the results, and sensitivity analysis. The authors also discuss further development of implementation of ANP-algorithms.
