Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Sensors Modeling Using Ordered Weighted Averaging (OWA) Operators in Electronic Nose

Measurement: Journal of the International Measurement Confederation, 2021
Abstract This paper proposes a minimum parameter system (MPS) model based on a particular data fusion method capable of reducing the uncertainties and providing more accurate results. We have applied the model to the data taken from an electronic nose.

A Three-Dimensional Constrained Ordered Weighted Averaging Aggregation Problem With Lower Bounded Variables

open access: yesSymmetry, 2018
We consider the constrained ordered weighted averaging (OWA) aggregation problem with a single constraint and lower bounded variables. For the three-dimensional constrained OWA aggregation problem with lower bounded variables, we present four types of ...

GIS–Multicriteria Evaluation With Ordered Weighted Averaging (OWA): Case Study of Developing Watershed Management Strategies

Environment and Planning A, 2003
This paper focuses on the parameterized-ordered weighted averaging (OWA) method. OWA is a family of multicriteria evaluation (or combination) rules. The proposed approach uses a parameter that serves as a mechanism for guiding multicriteria evaluation procedures.

Weighted OWA (Ordered Weighted Averaging Operator) Preference Aggregation for Group Multicriteria Decisions

International Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics & Computer Science, 2023
Group decision making is an integral part of operations and management functions in almost every business domain with substantial applications in finance and economics. In parallel to human decision makers, software agents operate in business systems and environments, collaborate, compete and perform algorithmic decision-making tasks as well.

Application of the Ordered Weighted Averaging (OWA) method to the Caspian Sea conflict

Stochastic Environmental Research and Risk Assessment, 2014
This study proposes a promising allocation mechanism of the Caspian Sea natural resources, which are presently shared among five countries. To date, these nations have been unable to reach an allocation agreement. We apply a methodology to propose the most appropriate solution under different risk attitudes of the states.

Linguistic summarization of the contents of Web server logs via the Ordered Weighted Averaging (OWA) operators

Fuzzy Sets and Systems, 2016
Analyses of Web server logs may be very useful and are often needed for designers and analysts of computer networks who try to design and optimize the functioning of the systems, safeguard them against attacks, provide for the most effective and efficient access path for the users/customers, etc. Obviously, they are also an interesting research problem

Integrating Indicators for Performance Assessment of Small Water Utilities Using Ordered Weighted Averaging (OWA) Operators

Expert Systems With Applications, 2010
The main objective of this study is to develop a methodology that integrates indicators for performance assessment of small drinking water utilities. The investigation entails 10 water utilities in the Province of Quebec (Canada) that use surface water or groundwater under the direct influence of runoff, and apply chlorination as the only treatment ...

SAS/OWA: ordered weighted averaging in SAS optimization

Soft Computing, 2009
This paper explores the use of the optimization procedures in SAS/OR software with application to the ordered weight averaging (OWA) operators of decision-making units (DMUs). OWA was originally introduced by Yager (IEEE Trans Syst Man Cybern 18(1):183–190, 1988) has gained much interest among researchers, hence many applications such as in the areas ...

Using GIS-based order weight average (OWA) methods to predict suitable locations for the artificial recharge of groundwater

Environmental Earth Sciences, 2021
This study aims to determine suitable locations for artificial recharge of groundwater (ARG) using the GIS-based analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and order weight average (OWA). To determine the weights of the different parameters, the AHP method of pair-comparison was used after preparing a fuzzy map for each attribute.

Using Ordered Weight Averaging (OWA) Aggregation for Multi-Criteria Soil Fertility Evaluation by GIS (Case Study: Southeast Iran)

Computers and Electronics in Agriculture, 2017
Abstract The Multi-criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) and the Geographical Information Systems (GIS) are used to provide more accurate decisions for decision makers in order to evaluate the effective factors of the natural science. One of the popular algorithms of the multi-criteria analysis is the Ordered Weighted Averaging (OWA).
