A model of human evaluation process using fuzzy measure

Abstract This paper presents a mathematical model for the human subjective evaluation process using fuzzy integrals based on the general fuzzy measure. First, the concept of overlap coefficient is introduced to describe the properties of a given fuzzy measure and to characterize the human evaluation process. Further, a new algorithm is developed to identify the fuzzy measure with full degrees of freedom. Lastly, the model and the identification scheme are applied to two practical examples: prediction of wood strength by an experienced inspector and trouble evasive actions taken by a computer game player.
