%0 Book Section %T Some useful procedures towards consistent preference modeling publisher Association for Intelligent Machinery %D 2003 %U 0970789025 %@ https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/60928 %X Decision making based upon valued preference relations is assuming that each decision maker is able to consistently manage intensity values for preferences, but this is indeed a diĀ±cult task, even when dealing with few alternatives. Representation tools will therefore play a key role in order to help decision makers to understand their preference structure. This paper introduces a particular representation based upon classical crisp dimension theory,addressing some associated computational complexity problems, which will hopefully be useful within a valued framework. %~
