It naturally appears in fields like  psychometrics, economics, decision sciences, linguistics and  archaeology. It explicitly takes into account the inevitable  imprecisions of scientific instruments by allowing the replacement of  precise numbers by intervals. The purpose of this book is to dissect  this structure and to study its fundamental properties. The main  subjects treated are the numerical representations of semiorders, the  generalizations of the concept to valued relations, the aggregation of  semiorders and their basic role in a general theoretical framework for  multicriteria decision-aid methods. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eAudience:\u003c\/em\u003e This volume is intended for students and researchers  in the fields of decision analysis, management science, operations  research, discrete mathematics, classification, social choice theory,  and order theory, as well as for practitioners in the design of  decision tools.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e05 December 2010\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer Netherlands\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9789048148691\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaperback \/ softback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e190\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51213456670860,"sku":"9789048148691","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789048148691.jpg?v=1782989785","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9789048148691","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
