A DEMATEL-based completion method for incomplete pairwise comparison matrix in AHP

A DEMATEL-Based Completion Method for Incomplete Pairwise Comparison Matrix in AHP

Pairwise comparison matrix as a crucial component of AHP, presents the preference relations among alternatives. However, in many cases, the pairwise comparison matrix is difficult to complete, which obstructs the subsequent operations of the classical AHP. In this paper, based on DEMATEL which has ability to derive the total relation matrix from direct relation matrix, a new completion method f...

On optimal completion of incomplete pairwise comparison matrices

An important variant of a key problem for multi-attribute decision making is considered. We study the extension of the pairwise comparison matrix to the case when only partial information is available: for some pairs no comparison is given. It is natural to define the inconsistency of a partially filled matrix as the inconsistency of its best, completely filled completion. We study here the uni...
