• Resumen

  • In this chapter we focus our attention in how to measure consensus in groups of agents when they show their preferences over a fixed set of alternatives or candidates by means of weak orders (complete preorders). We have introduced a new class of consensus measures on weak orders based on distances, and we have analyzed some of their properties paying special attention to seven well-known distances.
