A Review of Aggregation Functions

  • Chapter
Fuzzy Sets and Their Extensions: Representation, Aggregation and Models

Part of the book series: Studies in Fuzziness and Soft Computing ((STUDFUZZ,volume 220))

Abstract

Several local and global properties of (extended) aggregation functions are discussed and their relationships are examined. Some special classes of averaging, conjunctive and disjunctive aggregation functions are reviewed. A special attention is paid to the weighted aggregation functions, including some construction methods
