Preferences stability: A measure of preferences changes over time

作者:

Highlights:

• A general procedure to measure decisions stability over time under the assumption of complete pre-orders has been defined.

• Two particular decision stability measures, the local and the global decision stability measure have been provided.

• The features of the novel approaches and several mathematical results on the proposed measures have been included.

• Two real cases of study have been included, the Spanish voting behaviour and the European preferences about car market.

摘要

Traditionally, preferences have been considered stable although there are growing evidences that such stability is a mere theoretical assumption. Attending to this fact, it should be interesting to measure how much stability preferences provide in order to improve decision making processes. Surprisingly, no research has been found on measuring preferences stability.
