Consistent models of transitivity for reciprocal preferences on a finite ordinal scale
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we consider a decision maker who shows his/her preferences for different alternatives through a finite set of ordinal values. We analyze the problem of consistency taking into account some transitivity properties within this framework. These properties are based on the very general class of conjunctors on the set of ordinal values. Each reciprocal preference relation on a finite ordinal scale has both a crisp preference and a crisp indifference relation associated to it in a natural way. Taking this into account, we have started by analyzing the problem of propagating transitivity from the preference relation on a finite ordinal scale to the crisp preference and indifference relations. After that, we carried out the analysis in the opposite direction. We provide some necessary and sufficient conditions for that propagation, and therefore, we characterize the consistent class of conjunctors in each direction.

The ordinal consistency of an incomplete reciprocal preference relation
The ordinal consistency is the usual weak transitivity condition that a logical and consistent person should use if he/she does not want to express inconsistent opinions, and therefore becomes the minimum requirement condition that a consistent reciprocal preference relation should verify. In this paper, we define and study the ordinal consistency of an incomplete reciprocal preference relation...
متن کاملA generalization of stochastic and fuzzy transitivity for reciprocal fuzzy relations
b) moderate stochastic transitivity: For a reciprocal fuzzy relation Q : x2 + [O, 11 on a finite set of alternatives X , we introduce the concept of U-transitivity which is based upon the ordering of the matrix elements qij, qjk and qki of Q for all triples of indices i, j and k. We show that U-transitivity generalizes both stochastic and fuzzy transitivity. The U-transitivity of the secalled u...
متن کاملReciprocity and Consistency of Fuzzy Preference Relations
Preference relations are the most common representation structures of information used in decision making problems because they are useful tool in modelling decision processes, above all when we want to aggregate experts’ preferences into group preferences. Therefore, to establish rationality properties to be verified by preference relations is very important in the design of good decision maki...
متن کاملArrow’s Theorem Without Transitivity
In light of research indicating that individual behavior may violate standard rationality assumptions, we introduce a model of preference aggregation in which neither individual nor collective preferences must satisfy transitivity or other coherence conditions. We introduce an ordinal rationality measure to compare preference relations. Using this measure, we introduce a new axiom, monotonicity...
متن کاملNonlinear Multi attribute Satisfaction Analysis (N-MUSA): Preference disaggregation approach to satisfaction
Nonlinear MUSA is an extension of MUSA, which employs a derived approach to analyze customer satisfaction and its determinants. It is a preference disaggregation approach, widely welcomed by scholars since 2002, following the principles of ordinal regression analysis. N-MUSA as a goal programing model, evaluates the level of satisfaction among some groups including customers, employees, etcete...
