Fuente: WIPO "tomato" A method for detecting the cliques of evaluators in a decision-making process includes collecting a data matrix Sij to a computer system using an automatic input interface. The elements of the matrix Sij are the real numbers in a predefined range. Each of the elements of the matrix Sij represent a numerical evaluation provided by an evaluator j for an evaluated entity i. For each pair of evaluators j, where j1 and j2 (j1≠j2) from the data matrix Sij, calculating by the computer system the Pairwise Adjusted Distances EDj1j2. Applying by the computer system a nonlinear transformation to the Pairwise Adjusted Distances EDj1j2. Identifying cliques of evaluators by comparing by the computer system the transformed distances
