Axiomatization of Inconsistency Indicators for Pairwise Comparisons
arXiv:1509.03781
Abstract
This study proposes revised axioms for defining inconsistency indicators in pairwise comparisons. It is based on the new findings that "PC submatrix cannot have a worse inconsistency indicator than the PC matrix containing it" and that there must be a PC submatrix with the same inconsistency as the given PC matrix. This study also provides better reasoning for the need of normalization. It is a revision of axiomatization by Koczkodaj and Szwarc, 2014 which proposed axioms expressed informally with some deficiencies addressed in this study.
