Abstract

We briefly describe the Ordered Weighted Averaging (OWA) operator and discuss a methodology for learning the associated weighting vector from observational data. We then introduce a more general type of OWA operator called the Induced Ordered Weighted Averaging (IOWA) Operator. These operators take as their argument pairs, called OWA pairs, in which one component is used to induce an ordering over the second components which are then aggregated. A number of different aggregation situations have been shown to be representable in this framework. We then show how this tool can be used to represent different types of aggregation models
