DISA SEMINARI Generalizations of weighted means and OWA operators: an analysis and new proposals
نویسنده
چکیده
Weighted means and ordered weighted averaging (OWA) operators are well-known functions widely used in aggregation processes. Although both are defined through weighting vectors, their behavior is quite different: The weighted means allow to weight each information source in relation to their reliability while OWA operators allow to weight the values according to their ordering. Nevertheless, there are situations where it is necessary to combine both functions. For this reason, several classes of functions have appeared in the literature with the intent of simultaneously generalizing weighted means and OWA operators: the weighted OWA (WOWA) operators and the hybrid weighted averaging (HWA) operators.

Ordered Weighted Averaging Operators and their Generalizations with Applications in Decision Making
The definition of ordered weighted averaging (OWA) operators and their applications in decision making are reviewed. Also, some generalizations of OWA operators are studied and then, the notion of 2-symmetric OWA operators is introduced. These generalizations are illustrated by some examples.
متن کاملDistance measures, weighted averages, OWA operators and Bonferroni means
The ordered weighted average (OWA) is an aggregation operator that provides a parameterized family of operators between the minimum and the maximum. This paper presents the OWA weighted average distance operator. The main advantage of this new approach is that it unifies the weighted Hamming distance and the OWA distance in the same formulation and considering the degree of importance that each...
متن کاملOn generalizations of weighted means and OWA operators
In this paper we analyze two classes of functions proposed in the literature to simultaneously generalize weighted means and OWA operators: WOWA operators and HWA operators. Since, in some cases, the results provided by these operators may be questionable, we introduce functions that also generalize both operators and characterize those that satisfy a condition imposed to maintain the relations...

متن کاملConstructing Choquet integral-based operators that generalize weighted means and OWA operators
In this paper we introduce the semi-uninorm based ordered weighted averaging (SUOWA) operators, a new class of aggregation functions that, as WOWA operators, simultaneously generalize weighted means and OWA operators. To do this we take into account that weighted means and OWA operators are particular cases of Choquet integral. So, SUOWA operators are Choquet integral-based operators where thei...
