✦ Synopsis

In this paper, we present a procedure to estimate missing preference values when dealing with pairwise comparison and heterogeneous information. This procedure attempts to estimate the missing information in an expert's incomplete preference relation using only the preference values provided by that particular expert. Our procedure to estimate missing values can be applied to incomplete fuzzy, multiplicative, interval-valued, and linguistic preference relations. Clearly, it would be desirable to maintain experts' consistency levels. We make use of the additive consistency property to measure the level of consistency and to guide the procedure in the estimation of the missing values. Finally, conditions that guarantee the success of our procedure in the estimation of all the missing values of an incomplete preference relation are given.

## Abstract There is an increasing interest in using data derived from ordinal methods, particularly data derived from discrete choice experiments (DCEs), to estimate the cardinal values for health states to calculate quality adjusted life years (QALYs). Ordinal measurement strategies such as DCE m
