In paired comparison experiments, especially those involving sensory perception, it is sometimes impossible or undesirable to perform all possible comparisons. As when all comparisons are made, the number of circular triads can be used as a measure of inconsistency in the responses of a particular judge. A computational method for determining the number of circular triads is presented in this paper.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
