TL;DR
An important class of OWA operators that give preference to argument values that lie in the middle between the largest and the smallest using Gaussian type weights is investigated in considerable detail.
Abstract
We introduce the idea of centered OWA operators. We define these as OWA operators that give preference to argument values that lie in the middle between the largest and the smallest. An important class of these using Gaussian type weights is investigated in considerable detail. We describe a number of different examples of centered OWA operators.

IEEE Transactions on Systems Man and CyberneticsOn ordered weighted averaging aggregation operators in multicriteria decisionmaking
7,125 Citations1988Ronald R. Yager
A type of operator for aggregation called an ordered weighted aggregation (OWA) operator is introduced and its performance is found to be between those obtained using the AND operator and the OR operator.
Fuzzy Sets and SystemsFamilies of OWA operators
1,216 Citations1993Ronald R. Yager
A number of parametrized families of OWA operators are introduced; maximum entropy, S-OWA, step and window are among the most important of these families and the evaluation of quantified propositions using these operators is studied.
International Journal of Intelligent SystemsQuantifier guided aggregation using OWA operators
1,106 Citations1998Ronald R. Yager
An extension of the OWA operators which involves the use of triangular norms is introduced and a procedure for determining the measure of “orness” directly from the quantifier is suggested.
The Ordered Weighted Averaging Operators: Theory and Applications
887 Citations1997Ronald R. Yager, Janusz Kacprzyk
This volume is the first in the literature on the increasingly popular Ordered Weighted Averaging (OWA) operators, making it possible to change the form of aggregation from the `pessimistic' minimum-type aggregation through all intermediate types, to the `optimistic' maximum-type aggregations.
International Journal of Intelligent SystemsAn overview of methods for determining OWA weights
774 Citations2005Zeshui Xu
A novel practical method is developed for obtaining the OWA weights, which can relieve the influence of unfair arguments on the decision results by weighting these arguments with small values.
Fuzzy Sets and SystemsOn the issue of obtaining OWA operator weights
539 Citations1998Dimitar Filev, Ronald R. Yager
This work investigates the issue of obtaining the weights associated with the OWA aggregation in the situation when the authors have observed data on the arguments and the aggregated value and introduces a family of OWA operators called exponential OWA Operators.
On the Inclusion of Importances in OWA Aggregations
88 Citations1997Ronald R. Yager
This work looks at the ways in which importances have been included in some notable examples of OWA operators and builds, using a fuzzy systems model, a general transform operator for the inclusion of importances.
