In this article we extend the similarity classifier to cover also Ordered Weighted Averaging (OWA) operators. Earlier, similarity classifier was mainly used with generalized mean operator, but in this article we extend this aggregation process to cover more general OWA operators. With OWA operators we concentrate on linguistic quantifier guided aggregation where several different quantifiers ar...

In this paper a class of combinatorial optimization problems with uncertain costs is discussed. The uncertainty is modeled by specifying a discrete scenario set containing K distinct cost scenarios. The Ordered Weighted Averaging (OWA for short) aggregation operator is applied to choose a solution. The well-known criteria such as: the maximum, minimum, average, Hurwicz and median are special ca...

In this study we focus on improvement performance of a cue based Motor Imagery Brain Computer Interface (BCI). For this purpose, data fusion approach is used on results of different classifiers to make the best decision. At first step Distinction Sensitive Learning Vector Quantization method is used as a feature selection method to determine most informative frequencies in recorded signals and ...

Relevance Learning Vector Quantization (RLVQ) (introduced in [1]) is a variation of Learning Vector Quantization (LVQ) which allows a heuristic determination of relevance factors for the input dimensions. The method is based on Hebbian learning and defines weighting factors of the input dimensions which are automatically adapted to the specific problem. These relevance factors increase the over...

The aim of this paper is to introduce a unified model between the generalized ordered weighted averaging (GOWA) operator and the generalized probabilistic aggregation. We present the generalized probabilistic OWA (GPOWA) operator. It is a new aggregation operator that unifies the probability with the OWA operator considering the degree of importance that each concept has in the analysis. It inc...

We study different types of aggregation operators such as the ordered weighted averaging (OWA) operator and the generalized OWA (GOWA) operator. We analyze the use of OWA operators in the Minkowski distance. We will call these new distance aggregation operator the Minkowski ordered weighted averaging distance (MOWAD) operator. We give a general overview of this type of generalization and study ...

This study surveys the Ordered Weighted Averaging (OWA) operator literature using a citation network analysis. The main goals are the historical reconstruction of scientific development of the OWA field, the identification of the dominant direction of knowledge accumulation that emerged since the publication of the first OWA paper and to discover the most active lines of research. The results s...

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...

In this paper we introduce the semi-uninorm based ordered weighted averaging (SUOWA) operators, a new class of aggregation functions that, as WOWA operators, simultaneously generalize weighted means and OWA operators. To do this we take into account that weighted means and OWA operators are particular cases of Choquet integral. So, SUOWA operators are Choquet integral-based operators where thei...

The OWA operators are traditionally used in the context of decision making as the means to aggregate the satisfaction of single criteria into a overall preference index. They belong to the class of averages, entailing compensatory properties. Differently, t-norms and t-conorms entail the reinforcement property, since there is a kind of interaction between the degree of criteria satisfaction. A ...
