New look at the inconsistency analysis in the pairwise-comparisons-based prioritization problems

作者：

Highlights：

• Not investigated as yet aspect of ranking creation in the AHP is considered.

• Practice-oriented criterion for inconsistency-indices in the AHP is introduced.

• Various inconsistency indices are examined under the new criterion.

• Important conclusions about the inconsistency indices are stated.

• New matrix acceptance approach supported by statistical theory is proposed.
