In psychology, economics and philosophy, preference is a technical term usually used in relation to choosing between alternatives. Preferences are central to decision theory because of this relation to behavior. Some methods such as Ordinal Priority Approach use preference relation for decision-making. The difference between the two is that desires are directed at one object while preferences concern a comparison between two alternatives, of which one is preferred to the other. This chapter presents the formal aspects of decision making and introduce a set-theoretic representation of preferences to give a formal definition of the best decisions. In this chapter, we first present a conceptual framework for the phenomenon of decision making, and then use set theory to provide a more rigorous discussion.
