Abstract: Abstract This paper investigates the relationship between Kemeny-type distance functions on the set of choice functions and the original Kemeny distances on the set of binary relations with special emphasis on the set of linear orders. First, it will be shown in what way such distances differ. Second, for the Kemeny-type distance function on the set of choice functions we will provide an explicit expression in terms of the linear orders that rationalize them.
