Volozh, A. Yu.; Muchnik, I. B. Minimax approach to the construction of a generalized ordering. (English. Russian original) Zbl 0790.60025 Autom. Remote Control 52, No. 11, Pt. 2, 1612-1620 (1991); translation from Avtom. Telemekh. 1991, No. 11, 153-163 (1991). Summary: An effective algorithm is proposed for the construction of an aggregate ordering (“conditional mean rank” algorithm), which extremizes a minimax analog of Kemeny’s median. So far, the algorithm has been applied as a heuristic. The paper generalizes the algorithm and examines some interesting particular cases.
