When the decision maker gives a pairwise comparison matrix on alternatives, their priority weights are obtained by Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). In a group decision making, we assume that each group member gives his/her own pairwise comparison matrix. In this paper, a method for obtaining the interval priority weights of alternatives as the collective evaluation from the given many matrices is investigated. We basically presume that the individual matrices are the possible realizations of the collective interval priority weights in order to reflect all group members' opinions and their widths are minimized. However, as is often in the real world, the individual opinions are not always similar so that the collective intervals might be extremely wide. To avoid this, we relax the presumption by introducing the deviations for the individual intervals from the collective ones. Then the problem is formulated as the biobjective programming problem which minimizes the widths of the collective intervals and the deviations from individual intervals.
