Abstract
The paper introduces a new class of functions from [0,1]n to [0,n] called d-Choquet integrals. These functions are a generalization of the “standard” Choquet integral obtained by replacing the difference in the definition of the usual Choquet integral by a dissimilarity function. In particular, the class of all d-Choquet integrals encompasses the class of all “standard” Choquet integrals but the use of dissimilarities provides higher flexibility and generality. We show that some d-Choquet integrals are aggregation/pre-aggregation/averaging/functions and some of them are not. The conditions under which this happens are stated and other properties of the d-Choquet integrals are studied.
