Criteria importances in OWA aggregation: an application of fuzzy modeling

In this work we focus on the issue of the inclusion of importances in the ordered weighted averaging (OWA) aggregation process. We first look at the ways in which importances have been included in some notable examples of OWA operators. We see that in these cases the importance is used to transform the scores into some effective score. Using this knowledge we build, using a fuzzy systems model, a general transform operator for the inclusion of importances
