A χ based approach to consistency evaluation of multiplicative preference relations
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we develop the idea introduced by Lipovetski and Conklin in 2002 of considering a pairwise comparison matrix (PCM) as a contingency table. Instead of focusing on outliers detection, we use the χ2 value as an index to evaluate the deviation of a pairwise comparison matrix from consistency. We verify by means of numerical simulations that our new index satisfies a set of five properties recently introduced in order to characterize an inconsistency index. Therefore, we argue that our χ2 based index can be considered as a suitable index for evaluating the inconsistency of a PCM.

A Quadratic Programming Method for Ranking Alternatives Based on Multiplicative and Fuzzy Preference Relations
This paper proposes a quadratic programming method (QPM) for ranking alternatives based on multiplicative preference relations (MPRs) and fuzzy preference relations (FPRs). The proposed QPM can be used for deriving a ranking from either a MPR or a FPR, or a group of MPRs, or a group of FPRs, or their mixtures. The proposed approach is tested and examined with two numerical examples, and compara...
متن کاملNew Consistency Properties for Preference Relations
Consistency of preference relations is associated with the study of the transitivity property. This is clearly related to the scales used for associating preferences values to judgements, and the conditions used to represent transitivity. Both issues, the scale to use and the consistency property, have been studied in the multiplicative model as well as in the fuzzy one. However, we make note t...
متن کاملIntegrating multiplicative preference relations in a multipurpose decision-making model based on fuzzy preference relations
The aim of this paper is to study the integration of multiplicative preference relation as a preference representation structure in fuzzy multipurpose decision-making problems. Assuming fuzzy multipurpose decision-making problems under di4erent preference representation structures (ordering, utilities and fuzzy preference relations) and using the fuzzy preference relations as uniform representa...
متن کاملConsistency Properties for Preference Relations: T-additive and T-multiplicative transitivity
Consistency of preference relations is associated with the study of the transitivity property. In this paper, we analyze the properties to be verified by a function, T , in order to obtain the value of preference of the alternative xi over the alternative xk when we already have the values of the preference of xi over xj , and of xj over xk. As a consequence, we define T -additive transitivity ...
متن کاملDeriving the priority weights from incomplete hesitant fuzzy preference relations based on multiplicative consistency
In this paper, we define the concept of incomplete hesitant fuzzy preference relations to deal with the cases where the decision makers express their judgments by using hesitant fuzzy preference relations with incomplete information, and investigate the consistency of the incomplete hesitant fuzzypreference relations and obtain the reliable priority weights. We first establish a goal programmin...
