Pairwise comparison matrices are increasingly used in settings where some pairs missing. However, there exist few inconsistency indices for similar incomplete data sets and no reasonable measure has an associated threshold. This paper generalises the famous rule of thumb acceptable level inconsistency, proposed by Saaty, to pairwise matrices. The extension is based on choosing missing elements ...

the assessment of de-desertification alternatives can be effective in controlling the reclamation of disturbed landand avoiding destruction of areas at risk. until now, there has been no method to consider different criteria andalternatives, or to present the optimum alternatives based on systematic structures and experts’ perspectives.desertification is a complex process resulting from various...

Conventional locomotion scoring is a subjective, absolute, and discrete assessment of locomotion. Here we assess pairwise comparison to improve upon the limited intra- interobserver consistency typical conventional scoring. Five observers performed 4-level using 50 video recordings dairy cattle, also assessed 90 pairs videos (composed from same recordings) relative Intra- scores [intraobserver:...
