A Preference Elicitation Method is an elicitation method that collects preference information from evaluators to establish relative rankings or quality orderings among alternatives.
- AKA: Preference Collection Method, Preference Gathering Technique, Choice Elicitation Method, Ranking Elicitation Method.
- Context:
- It can typically reduce Cognitive Burden compared to absolute scoring.
- It can typically reveal Preference Structures through comparison tasks.
- It can often handle Incomparable Alternatives through partial ordering.
- It can often suffer from Preference Inconsistency across evaluation sessions.
- It can support Utility Function estimation in decision theory.
- It can enable Preference Learning for recommendation systems.
- It can facilitate Consensus Building through preference aggregation.
- It can integrate with Active Learning for efficient elicitation.
- It can range from being a Direct Preference Elicitation to being an Indirect Preference Elicitation, depending on its elicitation approach.
- It can range from being a Single-Attribute Preference Method to being a Multi-Attribute Preference Method, depending on its attribute scope.
- It can range from being a Deterministic Preference Method to being a Probabilistic Preference Method, depending on its uncertainty handling.
- It can range from being a Static Preference Elicitation to being a Adaptive Preference Elicitation, depending on its query strategy.

- Examples:
- Comparison-Based Methods, such as:
- Rating-Based Methods, such as:
- Choice-Based Methods, such as:
- ...
- Counter-Examples:
- Absolute Measurement Method, which avoids relative comparison.
- Objective Measurement, which lacks subjective preference.
- Random Selection, which ignores preference structure.
