UNLABELLED BACKGROUND Network meta-analysis is becoming increasingly popular for establishing comparative effectiveness among multiple interventions for the same disease. Network meta-analysis inherits all methodological challenges of standard pairwise meta-analysis, but with increased complexity due to the multitude of intervention comparisons. One issue that is now widely recognized in pai...

Pairwise comparison matrices play a prominent role in multiple-criteria decision-making, particularly the analytic hierarchy process (AHP). Another form of preference modeling, called an incomplete pairwise matrix, is considered when one or more elements are missing. In this paper, algorithm proposed for optimal completion matrix. Our intention to numerically minimize maximum eigenvalue functio...
