Abstract
elements of some (finite) poset , write for the probability that precedes in a random (uniform) linear extension of For define where the infimum is over all choices of and distinct Addressing an issue raised by Fishburn [6], we give the first nontrivial lower bounds on the function This is part of a more general geometric result, the exact determination of the function where the infimum is over chosen uniformly from some compact convex subset of a Euclidean space These results are mainly based on the Brunn–Minkowski Theorem and a theorem of Keith Ball [1], which allow us to reduce to a 2-dimensional version of the problem

Advances in Computational Intelligence

TL;DR: This work proposes customized model ensembles on demand, inspired by Lazy Learning, which finds the most relevant models from a DB of models, using their meta-information, and creates an ensemble, which produces an output that is a weighted interpolation or extrapolation of the outputs of the models ensemble.

On the cycle-transitivity of the mutual rank probability relation of a poset

TL;DR: The characterization of the transitivity of this mutual rank probability relation is contributed by situating it between strong stochastic transitivity and moderate product transitivity, using the cycle-transitivity framework.
