Abstract:

In this article, joint medical and data
analysis expertise is brought to bear using
contrasting data analysis methods and the
WOWA aggregation operator to solve a
difficult medical diagnosis problem, that of
sleep apnea syndrome screening. We
describe a method of calculating the
relevance and reliability weights used by
the WOWA operator.
