Abstract

We introduce a method for generating CP-nets uniformly at random. As CP-nets encode a subset of partial orders, ensuring that we generate samples uniformly at random is not a trivial task. We present algorithms for counting CP-nets, ranking and computing the rank of an arbitrary CP-net for a given number of nodes, and generating a CP-net given its rank. We also show how to generate all CP-nets with a given number of nodes.
