Extracting Decision Rules from Qualitative Data Using Sugeno Integral: A Case-Study
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper deals with knowledge extraction from experimental data in multifactorial evaluation using Sugeno integrals. They are qualitative criteria aggregations where it is possible to assign weights to groups of criteria. A method for deriving such weights from data is recalled. We also present results in the logical representation of Sugeno integrals. Then we show how to extract if-then rules expressing the selection of good situations on the basis of local evaluations, and rules to detect bad situations. We illustrate such methods on a case-study in the area of water ecosystem health.

The Cube of Opposition and the Complete Appraisal of Situations by Means of Sugeno Integrals
The cube of opposition is a logical structure that underlies many information representation settings. When applied to multiple criteria decision, it displays various possible aggregation attitudes. Situations are usually assessed by combinations of properties they satisfy, but also by combinations of properties they do not satisfy. The cube of opposition applies to qualitative evaluation when ...
متن کاملBridging the Gap between Discrete Sugeno and Choquet integrals
This paper deals with decision making under uncertainty when the worth of acts is evaluated by means of Sugeno integral. One limitation of this approach is the coarse ranking of acts it produces. In order to refine this ordering, a mapping from the common qualitative utility and uncertainty scale to the reals is proposed, whereby Sugeno integral is changed into a Choquet integral. This work rel...
متن کاملQualitative Decision Theory with Sugeno Integrals
This paper presents an axiomatic framework for qualitative decision under uncertainty in a finite setting. The corresponding util ity is expressed by a sup-min expression, called Sugeno (or fuzzy) integral. Techni cally speaking, Sugeno integral is a median, which is indeed a qualitative counterpart to the averaging operation underlying expected utility. The axiomatic justification of Sugeno ...
متن کاملThe Sugeno fuzzy integral of concave functions
The fuzzy integrals are a kind of fuzzy measures acting on fuzzy sets. They can be viewed as an average membershipvalue of fuzzy sets. The value of the fuzzy integral in a decision making environment where uncertainty is presenthas been well established. Most of the integral inequalities studied in the fuzzy integration context normally considerconditions such as monotonicity or comonotonicity....
متن کاملDecision-making with Sugeno integrals
This paper clari es the connection between multiple criteria decisionmaking and decision under uncertainty in a qualitative setting relying on a nite value scale. While their mathematical formulations are very similar, the underlying assumptions di er and the latter problem turns out to be a special case of the former. Sugeno integrals are very general aggregation operations that can represent ...
