A survey of preference relations
Abstract
Preference Relations are a popular and powerful tool used by decision makers to provide their preference information in the process of decision making. Over the last decades, various types of preference relations have been developed, but they are scattered through the literature. The purpose of this paper is to present a comprehensive survey of preference relations. We also briefly discuss their properties and introduce some new preference relations. Finally, we put forward the directions of future research.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
