Learning weights for the quasi-weighted means

Abstract

We study the determination of weights for quasi-weighted means (also called quasi-linear means) when a set of examples is given. We consider first a simple case, the learning of weights for weighted means, and then we extend the approach to the more general case of a quasi-weighted mean. We consider the case of a known arbitrary generator f. The paper finishes considering the use of parametric functions that are suitable when the values to aggregate are measure values or ratio.
