AHP is a multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) approach, which is based on the pair-wise comparison of elements of a given set with respect to multiple criteria. Even though there are applications of the AHP to software selection problems, we have not encountered a study that involves forecasting software. We started our analysis by filtering among forecasting software that were found on the Internet by undergraduate students as a part of a course project. Then we processed a second filtering step, where we reduced the number of software to be examined even further. Finally we constructed the comparison matrices based upon the evaluations of three \u201csemi-experts\u201d, and obtained a ranking of forecasting software of the selected software using the Expert Choice software. We report our findings and our insights, together with the results of a sensitivity analysis.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pekin, A., Ozkan, G., Eski, O., Karaarslan, U., Ertek, G. and Kilic, K.
