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...

In the classical theory of social choice, there exist many voting procedures for determining a collective preference on a set of alternatives. The simplest situation happens when a group of individuals has to choose between two alternatives. In this context, some voting procedures such as simple and absolute special majorities are frequently used. However, these voting procedures do not take in...

In 1988 Ronald R. Yager [14] introduced a new aggregation technique based on the ordered weighted averaging (OWA) operators. The goal of this paper is to present a short survey of of OWA operators and illustrate their applicability by a real-life example.

The road safety performance of countries is conducted by combining seven main risk indicators into one index using a particular weighting and aggregation method. Weights can be determined with respect to the assumed importance of the indicator, whereas aggregation operators can be used to stress better performances differently from worse performances irrespective of the indicator’s meaning. In ...

The conventional method of aggregating the satisfaction of transport projects with respect to multiple attributes is commonly some variant of Simple Additive Weighting (SAW), which involves the sum of products of standardized outcomes of projects with respect to attributes and attribute importance weights. It is suggested that alternative forms of aggregation might be more useful, in particular...

In this paper, an anomaly detection method in cluster-based mobile ad hoc networks with ad hoc on demand distance vector (AODV) routing protocol is proposed. In the method, the required features for describing the normal behavior of AODV are defined via step by step analysis of AODV and independent of any attack. In order to learn the normal behavior of AODV, a fuzzy averaging method is used fo...

We study multiple referenda and committee elections, when the ballot of each voter is simply a set of approved binary issues (or candidates). Two well-known rules under this model are the commonly used candidate-wise majority, also called the minisum rule, as well as the minimax rule. In the former, the elected committee consists of the candidates approved by a majority of voters, whereas the l...

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...
