Yager considered the problem of maximizing an OWA aggregation of a group of variables that are interrelated and constrained by a collection of linear inequalities and he showed how this problem can be modelled as a mixed integer linear programming problem. In this short communication we show a simple algorithm for exact computation of optimal solutions to a constrained OWA aggregation problem w...

This article introduces the uncertain ordered weighted averaging adequacy coefficient (UOWAAC) operator. novel operator uses (OWA) operator, coefficient, and interval numbers in a single formulation. also extends UOWAAC by using order-inducing variables reordering process of input arguments. new extension is called induced (UIOWAAC) The presents an application approach multi-criteria group deci...

Emotion perception is a complex process, often measured using stimuli presentation experiments that query evaluators for their perceptual ratings of emotional cues. These evaluations contain large amounts of variability both related and unrelated to the evaluated utterances. One approach to handling this variability is to model emotion perception at the individual level. However, the perception...

The ordered weighted averaging (OWA) operator by Yager (IEEE Trans Syst Man Cybern 1988; 18; 183–190) has received much more attention since its appearance. One key point in the OWA operator is to determine its associated weights. Among numerous methods that have appeared in the literature, we notice the maximum entropy OWA (MEOWA) weights that are determined by taking into account two appealin...

The ordered weighted averaging (OWA) operator was developed by Yager [IEEE Trans. Syst., Man, Cybernet. 18 (1998) 183]. Later, Yager and Filev [IEEE Trans. Syst., Man, Cybernet.––Part B 29 (1999) 141] introduced a more general class of OWA operators called the induced ordered weighted averaging (IOWA) operators, which take as their argument pairs, called OWA pairs, in which one component is use...

The problem of aggregating multiple criteria to form overall objective functions is of considerable importance in many disciplines. The most commonly used aggregation is based on the weighted sum. The ordered weighted averaging (OWA) aggregation, introduced by Yager, uses the weights assigned to the ordered values (i.e. to the worst value, the second worst and so on) rather than to the specific...
