contents In this article, we propose two quantitative methods for calculating weight vectors for incomplete pairwise comparison matrices using reference values. Both procedures are extensions of arithmetic and geometric heuristic estimation (HRE) methods. The proposed solutions allow flexible selection of the number of reference alternatives and the range of comparisons, from the acceptable minimum to a complete set. In this paper, we prove that the newly introduced geometric HRE method for incomplete data is optimal. For this method, we also prove the existence of a feasible solution. In the paper, we also provide sufficient conditions for the existence of a solution for the second arithmetic variant of the HRE method. We illustrate the presented methods with numerical examples.
