Description A lot of methods for solving multiple criteria decision problems require some weights of criteria. Widely used way of setting weights is based on pairwise comparisons, but there often occur inconsistencies in the preference expression. The article focuses on properties of pairwise comparison matrix, that influence the possibility to obtain relevant weights. There is suggested a new consistency index for the additive preference matrix and its performance is compared with traditional indices in a numerical study.
