Selection Procedure of the Approximation Methods for Deriving Priorities: A Case of Inconsistent Pairwise Comparisons

Abstract

When pairwise comparisons are used to express preferences for alternatives or judgments on criteria's importance, several methods can be used to derive priorities in multi-criteria decision-making. In the case of inconsistency, different methods give different results.
