We develop a new approach that uses the ordered weighted averaging (OWA) operator in the selection of financial products. In doing so, we introduce the ordered weighted averaging distance (OWAD) operator and the ordered weighted averaging adequacy coefficient (OWAAC) operator. These aggregation operators are very useful for decision-making problems because they establish a comparison between an...

Ordered weighted averaging (OWA) operators and their extensions are powerful tools used in numerous decision-making problems. This class of operator belongs to a more general family of aggregation operators, understood as discrete Choquet integrals. Aggregation operators are usually characterized by indicators. In this article four indicators usually associated with the OWA operator are extende...

In this paper we show how the distribution of the discrete Choquet integral can be analytically computed. The advantage of having an analytical expression is that the value of the cumulative distribution function (cdf) can be computed exactly for the Choquet. We also derive an expression for the density of the Ordered Weighted Average (OWA) operator, which is a special case of the Choquet.

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...

Cyclic averaging, as a method for reducing the leakage ermr in the estimatian of frequency response functions, is a simple and effective method that can be implemented in any data acquisit ion system. With the widespread availability of multikbamel data acqtisition systems, cyclic averaging may be the easiest approach to minimizing the huncation effect, known as leakage, that DccllIs when time ...

Dynamic modeling and control of dc-dc series resonant converter (SRC) especially when operating in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) is still a challenge in power electronics. Due to semiconductors switching, SRC is naturally represented as a switched linear system, a class of hybrid systems. Nevertheless, the hybrid nature of the SRC is commonly neglected and it is modeled as a purely contin...

PURPOSE This study was conducted to evaluate prognostic factors and cancer-specific survival (CSS) in a cohort of 41 patients with urachal carcinoma by use of a Bayesian model-averaging approach. MATERIALS AND METHODS Our cohort included 41 patients with urachal carcinoma who underwent extended partial cystectomy, total cystectomy, transurethral resection, chemotherapy, or radiotherapy at a s...

In the paper, we present a new noise spectrum estimation algorithm which is simple and effective for non-stationary background noise environments. The new proposed algorithm continuously updates the estimated noise by weighted noisy speech with a constant smoothing factor, the weighting factor is adjusted by an estimated signal-tonoise ratio (SNR), and the SNR is controlled by the local energy ...
