New results on inconsistency indices and their relationship with the quality of priority vector estimation
作者：
Highlights：
• New results on inconsistency indices (ICIs) of pairwise comparison matrices (PCM).
• A first study on the relationship between ICIs and priorities estimation (PE) errors.
• Results allowing for a more profound interpretation of the well-known ICIs.
• An introduction of a new ICI that manifests high correlation with PE errors.
• A proposal of a PCM acceptance approach based on classical statistical methodology.
