Averaging continuous distributions with the WOWA operator
نویسندگان
چکیده
The basic operations for combining real values in the frame of decision analysis are the Weighted Mean (WM) and the Ordered Weighted Averaging operator (OWA). The weighted mean allows the system to compute an aggregate value from the ones coming from several sources, taking into account the reliability of each information source. Alternatively, the OWA operator allows the user to weight the values supplied in relation to their relative ordering. The Weighted OWA operator (WOWA) allows the user to consider both aspects using two sets of weights. In this paper we introduce an extension of the WOWA operator to the continuous case after arguing its convenience.

The weighted ordered weighted averaging(WOWA) operator introduced by Torra is an important aggregation technique, which includes the famous weighted averaging(WA) operator and the ordered weighted averaging(OWA) operator as special cases. In this paper, we introduce a new hesitant fuzzy decision making technique called the hesitant fuzzy weighted OWA(HFWOWA) operator. It is an extension of the ...
متن کاملOn Decision Support Under Risk by the WOWA Optimization
The problem of averaging outcomes under several scenarios to form overall objective functions is of considerable importance in decision support under uncertainty. The fuzzy operator defined as the so-called Weighted OWA (WOWA) aggregation offers a well-suited approach to this problem. The WOWA aggregation, similar to the classical ordered weighted averaging (OWA), uses the preferential weights ...

In practice, it is often necessary to combine information from different sources. For this task, one of aggregation operators can be used. Probably the best-known of them are the weighted average and the OWA (ordered weighted average) operator. The weighted average makes it possible to assign importances to the individual information sources. On the other hand, with the OWA operator, the import...

متن کاملOn WOWA Rank Reversal
The problem of aggregating multiple criteria to form an overall measure is of considerable importance in many disciplines. The ordered weighted averaging (OWA) aggregation, introduced by Yager, uses weights assigned to the ordered values rather than to the specific criteria. This allows one to model various aggregated preferences, preserving simultaneously the impartiality (neutrality) with res...
