Improved Consistency Ratio for Pairwise Comparison Matrix in Analytic Hierarchy Processes
Asia-Pacific Journal of Operational Research, 2016The analytical hierarchy process (AHP) uses pairwise comparison matrix (PCM) to rank a known set of alternatives. Sometimes the comparisons made by the experts may be inconsistent which results in incorrect weights and rankings for the AHP. In this paper, a method is proposed which identifies inconsistent elements in a PCM and revises them iteratively

How to Achieve Consistent Paired Ratio Comparisons
1993This article deals with methods for replacing inconsistent paired ratio comparisons by consistent ones. Saaty’s eigenvector method as well as methods favoured by other authors are taken into consideration. The preferred tool of analysis is given by ten axioms.

Styrene based copolymers for consistent reactivity ratio evaluation
Materials Chemistry and Physics, 2018Abstract The reactivity ratio parameters or r-parameters are the most important indicators for the characterization of copolymers. Consequently, over the last decades, a variety of methods have been developed to determine and predict the r-parameters.

ANNUAL REPORT FINANCIAL RATIO COMPONENT CONSISTENCY
Asian Review of Accounting, 1996Annual changes in financial ratio values are susceptible to ambiguous interpretation because of different applications of generally accepted accounting principles and different numerator/denominator component selections. The paper investigates financial ratio disclosure within annual reports, and the extent to which the underlying ratio components vary

Self-consistent calculation of phonon gyromagnetic ratios in 208Pb
JETP Letters, 2014Within the Theory of Finite Fermi Systems the gyromagnetic ratios gLph of all low-lying phonons in 208Pb are calculated. The input data, i.e., single-particle energies, single-particle wavefunctions, and the ph interaction are derived from the Energy Density Functional by Fayans et al.

A Thermodynamic Test for the Internal Consistency of Experimental Data on Volatility Ratios
Nature, 1947An important measurable parameter in the study of vapour-liquid equilibria in two-phase binary mixtures is the volatility ratio (α) defined by N1g.N2/N1.N2g, where N1g is the mol fraction of component 1 in the vapour and N2 that of component 2, while N1 and N2 are the corresponding quantities for the liquid.

Consistency of Ozone and Nitrogen Oxides Standards at Tropospherically Relevant Mixing Ratios
Journal of the Air & Waste Management Association, 2005The absolute accuracy and long-term precision of atmospheric measurements hinge on the quality of the instrumentation and calibration standards. To assess the consistency of the ozone (O3) and nitrogen oxides (NO(x)) standards maintained at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), these standards were compared through the gas-phase ...

The Consistency of MDL for Linear Regression Models With Increasing Signal-to-Noise Ratio
IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing, 2012Recent work by Ding and Kay has demonstrated that the Bayesian information criterion (BIC) is an inconsistent estimator of model order in nested model selection as the noise variance τ*→ 0. Unfortunately, Ding and Kay have erroneously concluded that the minimum description length (MDL) principle also leads to inconsistent estimates of model order in ...

Risk aversion vs. the Omega ratio: Consistency results
Finance Research Letters, 2017This paper clarifies when the Omega ratio and related performance measures are consistent with second order stochastic dominance and when they are not. To avoid consistency problems, the threshold parameter in the ratio should be chosen as the expected return of some benchmark – as is commonly done in the Sharpe ratio.

Study of cobalt dispersion on titania consisting various rutile:anatase ratios
Materials Chemistry and Physics, 2005Abstract The number of reduced cobalt metal surface atoms in Co/TiO 2 was found to increase with the presence of rutile phase. It was suggested that the increased number of reduced cobalt metal surface atoms be attributed to highly dispersed cobalt oxide species as seen by the transmission electron microscopy (TEM) technique.
