Sentence examples for indirect preferences from inspiring English sources
We approximate the Pareto front using the weighted sum and epsilon constraint scalarization methods with pre-defined or adaptively selected parameters, two popular evolutionary algorithms, SPEA2 and NSGA-II, with different selection strategies, and their interactive counterparts that incorporate Decision Maker׳s (DM׳s) indirect preferences into the search process.
Nonetheless, direct and indirect preferences for BMI are highly correlated (ρ = 0.99), and using indirect preferences alone to predict the actual partners' BMI could be sufficient.
A second model for BMI, based on the previous one, includes the indirect preferences for BMI as an additional covariate.
The indirect preferences for BMI were built using predicted partner's stature and body mass obtained through corresponding models previously described, that were combined following the BMI formula.
In fact, it appears that considering direct preferences for BMI in a model that already includes indirect preferences does not improve the quality of the prediction for either sex (for females: F1,93 = 0.01, p = 0.91; for males: F1,92 = 0.09, p = 0.76).
For BMI, the partner's BMI could be influenced by direct preferences for BMI i.e. preferences for a certain body shape independently of preferences for stature and body mass, or by preferences for stature and body mass which generate indirect preferences for BMI.
The actual partners' BMI can be predicted either from the preferred BMI (direct preference), or by using the preferred stature and body mass to compute a preferred BMI (indirect preference, see methods).
Critics have argued against the possibility of rationally choosing such indirect preference-modifying strategies.
To evaluate outdoor recreation, an indirect preference method was used; the travel cost method.
A practical application of one indirect preference method (travel cost method) is made to evaluate outdoor recreation in forests in Slovakia.
The "second-generation" algorithms mapped from other indirect preference-based measures tended to produce lower ICURs.
