RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 A cardinal dissensus measure based on the Mahalanobis distance A1 González Arteaga, María Teresa A1 Alcantud, José Carlos R. A1 Andrés Calle, Rocío de K1 Decisiones K1 Consenso K1 Análisis AB In this paper we address the problem of measuring the degree of consensus/dissensus in a context where experts or agents express their opinions on alternatives or issues by means of cardinal evaluations. To this end we propose a new class of distance-based consensus model, the family of the Mahalanobis dissensus measures for profiles of cardinal values. We set forth some meaningful properties of the Mahalanobis dissensus measures. Finally, an application over a real empirical example is presented and discussed.
