Ordinal spaces

Abstract

Ordinal data analysis is an interesting direction in machine learning. It mainly deals with data for which only the relationships `<<', `==', `>>' between pairs of points are known. We do an attempt of formalizing structures behind ordinal data analysis by introducing the notion of ordinal spaces on the base of a strict axiomatic approach. For these spaces we study general properties as isomorphism conditions, connections with metric spaces, embeddability in Euclidean spaces, topological properties etc.
