Inconsistency of Incomplete Pairwise Comparisons Matrices
This chapter deals with incomplete pairwise comparisons. A brief literature review is followed by a summary of priority deriving methods and...

Alternative Approaches to the Evaluation of Inconsistency in Pairwise Comparisons
This chapter covers selected alternative approaches to the evaluation of inconsistency in pairwise comparisons. In particular, the condition of order...

Deriving priority vector from pairwise comparisons matrix with fuzzy elements by solving optimization problem
Pairwise comparisons matrix with fuzzy elements (FPCM) are appropriate for the decision makers who are uncertain about the relative importance of...

Are earnings better than cash flows at predicting future cash flows? Evidence from apples-to-apples comparisons
We compare the abilities of earnings and cash flows to predict future cash flows. We take a novel approach in that we perform apples-to-apples...

Evaluating scales for pairwise comparisons
Pairwise comparisons have been a long-standing technique for comparing alternatives/criteria and their role has been pivotal in the development of...
-
Shorter prediction intervals for anonymous individual assessments in group decision-making via pairwise comparisons
With reference to pairwise comparisons in group decision-making, consider the problem of how a decision-maker, who knows his/her own assessment and...

An exact lexicographic approach for the maximally risk-disjoint/minimal cost path pair problem in telecommunication networks
The paper addresses the lexicographically maximal risk-disjoint/minimal cost path pair problem that aims at finding a pair of paths between two given...

Decision models for information systems planning using primitive cognitive network process: comparisons with analytic hierarchy process
The well-planned investment in a robust Information System (IS) is essential for the sustainability of a firm’s competitive advantage. The careful...

An analytic network process model to prioritize supply chain risks in green residential megaprojects
Megaprojects and specifically ‘green’ construction of residential megaprojects can contain significant risks of failure. To design proper risk...

Efficient vectors in priority setting methodology
The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is a much discussed method in ranking business alternatives based on empirical and judgemental information. We...

Inconsistency Indices and Their Properties
This chapter provides a review of (cardinal) inconsistency indices, two systems of indices’ (desirable) properties, and an overview of satisfaction...

Polyad inconsistency measure for pairwise comparisons matrices: max-plus algebraic approach
A max-algebraic approach is applied in this study to assess the inconsistency of pairwise comparisons (PC) matrices. An input PC matrix is flexible:...
-
Inconsistency Reduction
This chapter focuses on the problem of inconsistency reduction—if a pairwise comparisons matrix is inconsistent beyond a given threshold, it has to...

A novel transfer learning approach based on deep degradation feature adaptive alignment for remaining useful life prediction with multi-condition data
Transfer learning (TL) plays an important role in the remaining useful life (RUL) prediction when the training data and testing data are collected...
-
Equivalence of Data Petri Nets with Arithmetic
Data Petri nets (DPNs) with arithmetic have gained popularity as a model for data-aware processes, thanks to their ability to balance simplicity with...

Pair Comparison Between Chinese MSPs and American MSPs
Four selected American e-Health MSPs, namely, Onemedical.com (a medical appointment and service package platform), Domicity.com (a physician online...

Assessing the Value Perception of Employees of the 50 Plus Generation: An AHP Approach
Within the present research, the relevance of the perceived values of older cohorts of employees aged 50 and over for companies is to be...

Is the best–worst method path dependent? Evidence from an empirical study
The Best–Worst method (BWM) is one of the latest contributions to pairwise comparisons methods. As its name suggests, it is based on pairwise...

Evaluation of the Implementation of Recycling, Reuse, Remanufacturing, and Reduction in the Reverse Chain of Brazilian WEEE: Survey in Electronics Companies
Due to territorial expansion, national requirements for electronics manufacturers and importers to dispose of waste electrical and electronic...

The Generalized Shapley Value of Cooperative Games as a Social Preference Function
We introduce a cardinal social preference rule (CSPR) which accounts for interpersonal comparisons of alternatives in groups and satisfies several...
