Abstract
While many applications make use of the Ordered Weighted Averaging (OWA) operator (Yager, 1988) one under-explored application has been in summarizing data sets. We note that formally the OWA operator can be used to model different types of summarizing statistics depending on the choice of OWA weighting vector. Summarizing statistics are of particular importance in the field of data management and analysis and data mining (Tan, Steinbach & Kumar, 2006; Bouchon-Meunier, Rifqi & Lesot, 2008). Among the most well known summarizing statistics are the average, median and mode. While these have been extremely useful they don’t completely enable the kinds of sophisticated analysis desired by modern AbsTRACT
