Abstract

This paper studies the concept of Choquet-like copula-based aggregation function (CC-integral), introduced by Lucca et al. [1], when one considers the Minimum t-norm, showing an application in fuzzy rule-based classification systems. The CC-integral is built from the standard Choquet integral, which is expanded by distributing the product operation, and, then, the product operation is generalized by a copula. In this paper, we study the behavior of this aggregation function in fuzzy rule-based classification systems, when one considers the Minimum t-norm as de copula of the CC-integral, which we call the CMin-integral. We show that the CMin-integral obtains a performance that is, with a high level of confidence, better than the approach that adopts the winning rule (maximum). Moreover, its behaviour is similar to the best Choquet-like pre-aggregation functions, introduced by Lucca et al. [10], with excellent performance. Consequently, the CMin-integral enlarge the scope of the applications by offering new possibilities for defining fuzzy reasoning methods with a similar gain in performance.
