Strategy Selection in Ordinal Ranking Problems.

Abstract

This paper investigates a class of committee ranking problems. A given member wishes to select an ordinal ranking of a set of objects which, when combined with the rankings provided by the other members, yields a consensus ranking that is as close as possible to some desired set of preferences. Areas of potential application such as defence construction and highway planning are discussed. An algorithm for determining the best ranking together with an illustrative example is given. (Author)
