Circular triads when not all paired comparisons are made.
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.
