fixed a few things

[edit]

I fixed a few things, added links to imprecise probability theory where Choquet integrals are used as well, and added a few more properties. I guess wikipedia needs some pages on n-monotone and n-alternating as well. Feel free to fix further. I do plan to work on this page from time to time. In particular it needs a lot more references.

What does map to?

[edit]

I'm confused. What is a set function, and if the range of is , how can that number be a member of , a collection of subsets? Crasshopper (talk) 17:28, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A "set function" refers to a function defined on a family of sets. A function whose values are sets would be called a "set-valued function" (or a "multivalued function", or a "multifunction") instead. The terminology may be confusing, but is is standard. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.97.200.245 (talk) 08:33, 8 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Biography

[edit]

Also, who is Choquet? Crasshopper (talk) 17:55, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Examples?

[edit]

Currently the article is quite technical. I would be happy to see some examples that convey the intuition behind the Choquet integral and its applications. --Erel Segal (talk) 13:57, 22 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

An example I found online is to measure the output of a team of factory workers.
Suppose a small factory has a total workforce (S). At certain shifts a subset of the workers are present $A\subset S$. The output of the factory is a monotone function of the workers present (I think it will be $\nu$). It's monotone because it doesn't decrease when more workers are added to $A$, but it the dependence is complex. Suppose all the workers start at 8:00 but leave at different times. The workers are labeled $x_1, x_2, .., x_n$ in order of who was the first to leave. The time when worker i left is given by $f(x_i)$. The integral could be used to compute the total output of the factory over the course of a day.
