too mathematical[edit]

imagine a non-mathematician reading this. They will get nothing out of it. But it seems fair that pareto fronts are a general concept for the thinking about the quality of a thing.

proposal: When evaluating suitability of a thing w.r.t. an objective, there may be conflicting equally desirable properties A and B. So you cannot be good at A and B at the same time. If you plot a 2D diagram with axis values A and B, then the pareto front is the depiction of all possible designs that are equally desirable in achieving A and B.

(and then there must come a trivial example that has nothing to do with engineering. e.g. sweetness vs healthiness of a foodstuff.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7F:EACB:CE00:78B6:C4AA:8D0E:9E0B (talk) 11:59, 5 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

dominance[edit]

Remind me again what this is? It's something to do with preferences, and is denoted by $a\succ b$ but how do I know when option $a$ "dominates" $b$ ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.239.41.100 (talk) 03:26, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
