Multicriterion Decision Making with Depen ent Preferences
Wynn C. Stirling, Richard L. Frost, Matthew S. Nokleby, Yabing Luo · 2007
If preferential independence is assumed inappropriately when developing multicriterion search methods, biased results may occur. A new axiomatic approach to defining conditional preference orderings that naturally accounts for preferential dependencies is presented and illustrated. This approach applies both to scalar optimization techniques that identify a best solution and to evolutionary optimization approaches that approximate the Pareto frontier
