Abstract

This paper provides a generalized characterization of the family of independence conditions which are equivalent to independence of irrelevant alternatives by proposing a pair-based refinement of $$\mathcal {S}$$ S -independence. Equipped with the new result, the relation between external independence conditions and independence of irrelevant alternatives is explored. Copyright Springer Science+Business Media New York 2015
