pord_nd {agop}

Weak Dominance Relation (Preorder)

Description

Checks whether a numeric vector of arbitrary length is (weakly) dominated (elementwise) by another vector of the same length.

Usage

pord_nd(x, y, incompatible_lengths = NA)

Arguments

x

numeric vector with nonnegative elements

y

numeric vector with nonnegative elements

incompatible_lengths

single logical value, value to return iff lengths of x and y differ

Details

We say that a numeric vector x of length n_x is weakly dominated by y of length n_y iff

1. n_x=n_y and

2. for all i=1,\dots,n_x it holds x_i\le y_i.

This relation is a preorder: it is reflexive (see rel_is_reflexive) and transitive (see rel_is_transitive), but not necessarily total (see rel_is_total). See rel_graph for a convenient function to calculate the relationship between all pairs of elements of a given set.

Such a preorder is tightly related to classical aggregation functions: each aggregation function is a morphism between weak-dominance-preordered set of vectors and the set of reals equipped with standard linear ordering.

Value

Returns a single logical value indicating whether x is weakly dominated by y.
