Aggregation on ordinal scales with the Sugeno integral for biomedical applications

The Sugeno integral is a function particularly suited to the aggregation of ordinal inputs. Defined with respect to a fuzzy measure, its ability to account for complementary and redundant relationships between variables brings much potential to the field of biomedicine, where it is common for measurements and patient information to be expressed qualitatively. However, practical applications require well-developed methods for identifying the...
