Semiorderとは 意味・読み方・使い方

In order theory, a branch of mathematics, a semiorder is a type of ordering that may be determined for a set of items with numerical scores by declaring two items to be incomparable when their scores are within some threshold of each other and otherwise using the numerical comparison of their scores. Semiorders were introduced and applied in mathematical psychology by as a model of human preference without the assumption that indifference is transitive. They generalize strict weak orderings, form a special case of partial orders and interval orders, and can be characterized among the partial orders by two forbidden four-item suborders.
