A Postulate-Based Analysis of Comparative Preference Statements
نویسنده
چکیده
Most of preference representation languages developed in the literature are based on comparative preference statements. The latter offer a simple and intuitive way for expressing preferences. They can be interpreted following different semantics. This paper presents a postulate-based analysis of the different semantics describing their behavior w.r.t. three criteria: coherence, syntax independence and inference.

Compiling Preference Queries in Qualitative Constraint Problems
Comparative preference statements are the basic ingredients of conditional logics for representing users’ preferences in a compact way. These statements may be strict or not and obey different semantics. Algorithms have been developed in the literature to compute a preference relation over outcomes given a set of comparative preference statements and one or several semantics. These algorithms a...
متن کاملApplication of PROMETHEE method for green supplier selection: a comparative result based on preference functions
The PROMETHEE is a significant method for evaluating alternatives with respect to criteria in multi-criteria decision-making problems. It is characterized by many types of preference functions that are used for assigning the differences between alternatives in judgements. This paper proposes a preference of green suppliers using the PROMETHEE under the usual criterion preference functions. Comp...
متن کاملA Quadratic Programming Method for Ranking Alternatives Based on Multiplicative and Fuzzy Preference Relations
This paper proposes a quadratic programming method (QPM) for ranking alternatives based on multiplicative preference relations (MPRs) and fuzzy preference relations (FPRs). The proposed QPM can be used for deriving a ranking from either a MPR or a FPR, or a group of MPRs, or a group of FPRs, or their mixtures. The proposed approach is tested and examined with two numerical examples, and compara...
متن کاملPreference Modeling with Possibilistic Networks and
The use of possibilistic networks for representing conditional preference statements on discrete variables has been proposed only recently. The approach uses non-instantiated possibility weights to define conditional preference tables. Moreover, additional information about the relative strengths of these symbolic weights can be taken into account. The fact that at best we have some information...

With the complexity and amount of information in a wide variety of comparative performance reports in poultry production, making a decision is difficult. This problem is overcomed only when all data can be put into a common unit. For this purpose, five different decision making analysis approaches including Maximin, Equally likely, Weighted average, Ordered weighted averages and Technique for ...
