Social Indexes Segregation Based on MEOWA and MOOWA Aggregation Operators

Martinez, Nuria Gomez, Daniel Rojas, Karina Olaso, Pablo Montero, JavierIndexes are very used in social sciences. The construction of an index involves aggregating information about variables that sometimes cannot be ranked, being OWA operators the most appropriate alternative. The associated weights of OWA operators can be defined in different ways. In this paper we propose to use MOOWA aggregation operators (maximizing ordinal dispersion instead of entropy) for the construction of indexes where no ranking amongst their variables is possible.
