Representation of preferences over a finite scale by a mean operator

Author

  • Grabisch, Michel

Abstract

Suppose that a decision maker provides a weak order on a given set of alternatives, each alternative being described by a vector of scores, which are given on a finite ordinal scale $E$. The paper addresses the question of the representation of this weak order by some mean operator, and gives necessary and sufficient conditions for such a representation, with possible shrinking and/or refinement of the scale $E$.
