The estimation of BT parameters of preference is usually achieved in an iterative procedure based on the maximum likelihood approach. In this paper an easier way of finding these parameters via an eigenproblem is considered. This approach corresponds to solving a Chapman\u2013Kolmogorov system of equations to estimate the steady-state probabilities of the compared items. Both techniques produce very similar results, but the eigenvector solution is simpler for applications and suggests an interpretation of BT preferences as the choice probabilities. The suggested approach can facilitate the paired comparison estimations and be utilized in various practical aims of managerial decision making.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1142\/s0219622008003010","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,9,8]],"date-time":"2008-09-08T09:10:44Z","timestamp":1220865044000},"page":"395-405","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["BRADLEY\u2013TERRY CHOICE PROBABILITY IN MAXIMUM LIKELIHOOD AND EIGENPROBLEM SOLUTIONS"],"prefix":"10.1142","volume":"07","author":[{"given":"STAN","family":"LIPOVETSKY","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"GfK Custom Research North America, 8401 Golden Valley Road Minneapolis, MN 55427, USA"}]}],"member":"219","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,11,20]]},"reference":[{"volume-title":"The Measurement and Prediction of Judgment and Choice","year":"1968","author":"Bock R.
