Inducing probability distributions on the set of value functions by Subjective Stochastic Ordinal Regression
作者：
Highlights：
• Multiple criteria ranking problem is approached using Subjective Stochastic Ordinal Regression (SSOR).
• Preferences of the decision maker are expressed through pairwise comparisons of some reference alternatives.
• A part of pairwise comparisons is certain, and another part is uncertain.
• Uncertain pairwise comparisons are used to build a probability distribution over the space of all preference models compatible with certain pairwise comparisons.
• From sampling of this distribution, one learns a probability with which a is ranked on the rth position (rank acceptability index), and probability that a is preferred to b (pairwise winning index).
