Free triples, large indifference classes and the majority rule

چکیده

We consider situations in which agents are not able to completely distinguish between all alternatives. Preferences respect individual objective indi erences if any two alternatives are indi erent whenever an agent cannot distinguish between them. We present necessary and su cient conditions of such a domain of preferences under which majority rule is quasi-transitive and thus Condorcet winners exist for any set of alternatives. Finally, we compare our proposed restrictions with others in the literature, to conclude that they are independent of any previously discussed domain restriction. JEL classi cation: C71, D71.

We consider situations in which agents are not able to completely distinguish between all alternatives. Preferences respect individual objective indifferences if any two alternatives are indifferent whenever an agent cannot distinguish between them. We present necessary and sufficient conditions of such a domain of preferences under which majority rule is quasi-transitive and thus Condorcet win...

On Schur Multipliers of Pairs and Triples of Groups with Topological Approach

In this paper, using a relation between Schur multipliers of pairs and triples of groups, the fundamental group and homology groups of a homotopy pushout of Eilenberg-MacLane spaces, we present among other things some behaviors of Schur multipliers of pairs and triples with respect to free, amalgamated free, and direct products and also direct limits of groups with topological approach.

On Mining Fuzzy Classification Rules for Imbalanced Data

Fuzzy rule-based classification system (FRBCS) is a popular machine learning technique for classification purposes. One of the major issues when applying it on imbalanced data sets is its biased to the majority class, such that, it performs poorly in respect to the minority class. However many cases the minority classes are more important than the majority ones. In this paper, we have extended ...

Comparative Analysis of Machine Learning Algorithms with Optimization Purposes

The field of optimization and machine learning are increasingly interplayed and optimization in different problems leads to the use of machine learning approaches‎. ‎Machine learning algorithms work in reasonable computational time for specific classes of problems and have important role in extracting knowledge from large amount of data‎. ‎In this paper‎, ‎a methodology has been employed to opt...
