004145: The number of input variables must be greater than 1 and smaller than 10.

Description

The valid number of input variables is from 2 to 9. Beyond this range, pairwise comparison evaluation is difficult to maintain consistency.

Solution

Ensure that the number of input variables is from 2 to 9.

If 10 or more variables need to be compared, group similar variables into categories, and compare them within each category and then between categories.
