Abstract

Crawford and Williams [Journal of Mathematical Psychology 29 (1985) 387] suggested for the Row Geometric Mean Method (RGMM), one of the most extended AHP’s priorization procedure, a measure of the inconsistency based on stochastic properties of a subjacent model. In this paper, we formalize this inconsistency measure, hereafter called the Geometric Consistency Index (GCI), and provide the thresholds associated with it. These thresholds allow us an interpretation of the inconsistency tolerance level analogous to that proposed by Saaty [Multicriteria Decision Making: The Analytic Hierarchy Process, New York, 1980] for the Consistency Ratio (CR) used with the Right Eigenvector Method in Conventional-AHP.
