An Examination of Ranking Quality for Simulated Pairwise Judgments in relation to Performance of the Selected Consistency Measure

Table 4

Performance of the K(A) index. Statistical characteristics of the MREs distribution in relation to various for i=1,…,15 of K(A) values. The results were generated for n=4 on the basis of as the simulation algorithm and are based on 10,000 perturbed random reciprocal PCMs. The scenario assumed LLSM as the PP and Saaty’s preference scale.
