Characterization of an inconsistency ranking for pairwise comparison
  matrices
  Pairwise comparisons between alternatives are a well-known method for
measuring preferences of a decision-maker. Since these often do not exhibit
consistency, a number of inconsistency indices has been introduced in order to
measure the deviation from this ideal case. We axiomatically characterize the
inconsistency ranking induced by the Koczkodaj inconsistency index: six
independent properties are presented such that they determine a unique linear
order on the set of all pairwise comparison matrices.
