In this paper, by using the (n - 1) interval pairwise comparisons, a new partner-selection method is proposed, which is based on a new concept of approximate consistency for interval multiplicative preference relations. First, it is pointed out that when the (n - 1) pairwise comparisons are used to construct a complete preference relation, they should form a complete comparison chain beginning with a randomly chosen pair alternatives. Second, the concept of interval multiplicative preference relations with approximate consistency is proposed. Third, a new method of constructing an interval multiplicative preference relation with approximate consistency is presented. A new algorithm is given and a numerical example is carried out to illustrate the proposed approaches and compare with the existing ones. << 收起
