On practical applicability of the generalized averaging operator in fuzzy decision making

Many different types of aggregation operators have been suggested as decision functions for multicriteria fuzzy decision making. This paper investigates the practical applicability of generalized averaging operator as decision functions in modeling human decision behavior. Previously published numerical data is used in the analysis and the results are compared with those obtained from compensatory operators. The numerical data suggests that the generalized averaging operator may be used for modeling human decision behavior.
