Weak Consistency: A New Approach to Consistency in the Saaty’s Analytic Hierarchy Process
In the decision making methods based on the pairwise comparison there is very important to enter the preferences of compared elements in the rational way. Only in this case we are able to obtain the reasonable solution. In the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) there is set a strict consistency condition in order to keep the rationality of preference intensities between compared elements. But this requirement for the Saaty’s matrix is not achievable in the real situations because of the Saaty’s scale...
