Conditions for Heuristic Rating Estimation Method Application
A recent study outlines the necessary conditions for the proper use of the Heuristic Rating Estimation (HRE) technique, which assesses options through pairwise comparisons and reference weights. This research examines both arithmetic and geometric algorithms applicable to complete and incomplete pairwise comparisons. Examples provided in the study illustrate that the inconsistency estimations found in the arithmetic version are optimal.
Key facts
- The Heuristic Rating Estimation method evaluates alternatives based on pairwise comparisons and weights of reference alternatives.
- The paper formulates sufficient conditions for correct HRE application.
- Research considers both arithmetic and geometric algorithms.
- Both complete and incomplete pairwise comparison methods are analyzed.
- Illustrative examples show optimal inconsistency estimations in the arithmetic variant.
