Preference modelling. From preference statements to ordered sets. Languages for preferences.
Seminar Series “Decision Aiding for Policy Design and Evaluation”

10 lessons on Decision Aiding for Policy Design and Evaluation.

The talk focus on how preference statements, freely expressed by a user/client/decision maker are modelled in formal models aiming at supporting the elaboration of a decision model.
We analyse the formal properties of the binary relations and more specifically of binary relations and then we analyse a number of fundamental representation theorems (weak orders, interval orders, multiple threshold orders etc.).
Finally we introduce the notion of a preference modelling language aiming at expanding the modelling nuances through a formal representation of uncertainty and hesitation
