PrefSampling

PrefSampling is a lightweight Python library that provides preference samplers. These are algorithms that generate random preferences based on precisely defined statistical cultures. We consider different type of preferences:

• Ordinal: preferences are expressed as rankings of the candidates;

• Approval: preferences are expressed by indicating a set of approved candidates.
