Ordered set theory provides efficient tools for the problems of comparison and consensus of classifications Here, an overview of results obtained by the ordinal approach is presented Latticial or semilatticial structures of the main sets of classification models are described Many results on partitions are adaptable to dendrograms; many results on n-trees hold in any median semilattice and thus have counterparts on ordered trees and Buneman (phylogenetic) trees For the comparison of…

Thresholded consensus for n-trees
- Mathematics
- 1988
A class of (multiple) consensus methods for n-trees (dendroids, hierarchical classifications) is studied. This class constitutes an extension of the so-called median consensus in the sense that we…
The residuation model for the ordinal construction of dissimilarities and other valued objects
- Mathematics
- 1994
This chapter presents an ordinal model of valued objects, special cases of which appear in many contexts, and applies the model in order to obtain and study dissimilarities such as ultrametrics, Robinson or tree-compatible ones.

—The average consensus procedure, originally proposed to combine dendrograms (i.e., ultrametric trees), is extended here to apply to any type of tree with branch lengths (ultrametric or not)…
Building trees, hunting for trees, and comparing trees : theory and methods in phylogenetic analysis
- Computer Science

Distance and Consensus for Preference Relations Corresponding to Ordered Partitions
- MathematicsJ. Classif.
- 2019
The goal of this paper is to align developments in quantitative social sciences and decision theory with the current thought in Computer Science, including a few novel results on binary preference relations, the so-called weak orders that are in one-to-one correspondence with rankings.

Classification systems are families of subsets (classes) of a fixed set S that are closed for intersection and contain S and every single element subset of S. The main problem conidered here is that…

Determining the asymptotic number of phylogenetic trees
- Biology
- 1980
Formulas are found for the exact numbers of phylogenetic trees with n labels, and numerical results are presented for selected n⩽40, and the asymptotic behaviour of these numbers as n → ∞ is determined.
s-Consensus trees and indices

In the field of numerical taxonomy it is often desirable to determine a tree which is the consensus (common part) of severaln-trees, each of which represents a classification of the same set of…
Optimal algorithms for comparing trees with labeled leaves
- Computer Science, Mathematics
- 1985
Algorithms are described that exploit a special representation of the clusters of any treeT Rn, one that permits testing in constant time whether a given cluster exists inT, and enable well-known indices of consensus between two trees to be computed inO(n) time.
