Kemeny-Snell method

The Kemeny-Snell method is a way to accurately rank options based on pairwise comparisons. Imagine you want to order several choices by preference but each comparison is uncertain or inconsistent. This method finds the ranking that best matches all the pairwise preferences simultaneously, minimizing disagreements. It uses statistical techniques to evaluate the data and determine the most consistent overall order, providing a fair and robust ranking even when individual comparisons are noisy or conflicting. It's commonly used in fields like voting, decision-making, and data analysis to derive a consensus ranking from complex preference data.
