Using Quasiarithmetic Means in a Sequential Decision Procedure
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study in this paper the following sequential decision procedure. First, the members of a group show their opinions on all the members, regarding a specific attribute. Taking into account this information, quasiarithmetic means and a family of thresholds, a subgroup of individuals is selected: those members whose collective assessments (obtained through a quasiarithmetic mean) reach a specific threshold. After that, only the assessments of this qualified subgroup are taken into account emerging a new subgroup with the aggregation phase. We analyze when this recursive procedure converges providing a final subgroup of qualified members.

Optimal Capacitor Allocation in Radial Distribution Networks for Annual Costs Minimization Using Hybrid PSO and Sequential Power Loss Index Based Method
In the most recent heuristic methods, the high potential buses for capacitor placement are initially identified and ranked using loss sensitivity factors (LSFs) or power loss index (PLI). These factors or indices help to reduce the search space of the optimization procedure, but they may not always indicate the appropriate placement of capacitors. This paper proposes an efficient approach for t...

متن کاملClustering Methods Based on Weighted Quasi-Arithmetic Means of T-Transitive Fuzzy Relations
In this paper we propose clustering methods based on weighted quasiarithmetic means of T -transitive fuzzy relations. We first generate a T -transitive closure R from a proximity relation R based on a max-T composition and produce a T -transitive lower approximation or opening RT from the proximity relation R through the residuation operator. We then aggregate a new T -indistinguishability fuzz...
متن کاملGeneralizing Jensen and Bregman divergences with comparative convexity and the statistical Bhattacharyya distances with comparable means
Comparative convexity is a generalization of convexity relying on abstract notions of means. We define the (skew) Jensen divergence and the Jensen diversity from the viewpoint of comparative convexity, and show how to obtain the generalized Bregman divergences as limit cases of skewed Jensen divergences. In particular, we report explicit formula of these generalized Bregman divergences when con...
متن کاملConvergence in a sequential two stages decision making process
We analyze a sequential decision making process, in which at each stepthe decision is made in two stages. In the rst stage a partially optimalaction is chosen, which allows the decision maker to learn how to improveit under the new environment. We show how inertia (cost of changing)may lead the process to converge to a routine where no further changesare made. We illustrate our scheme with some...
