Eigenvector and logarithmic least squares

Thomas Saaty
Journal: European journal of operational research
The eigenvector method deals with two questions simultaneously, closeness and order. Together, they belong to the field topology of order. The metric idea of closeness is inadequate to judge what is a good approximation to data involving order relations. There is usually a condition which relates...

Comparison of eigenvalue, logarithmic least squares and least squares methods in estimating ratios

Thomas Saaty, Luis Vargas
Journal: Mathematical modelling
Three methods—the eigenvalue, logarithmic least squares, and least squares methods—used to derive estimates of ratio scales from a positive reciprocal matrix are analyzed. The criteria for comparison are the measurement of consistency, dual solutions, and rank preservation. It is shown that the e...
