RT Book, Section T1 Construction of Capacities from Overlap Indexes A1 Sanz, José Antonio A1 Galar, Mikel A1 Mesiar, Radko A1 Bustince, Humberto A1 Fernandez, Javier A1 Montero De Juan, Francisco Javier A2 Torra, Vicenç A2 Dahlbom, Anders A2 Narukawa, Yasuo AB In many problems, it is crucial to find a relation between groups of data. Such relation can be expressed, for instance, in terms of an appropriate fuzzy measure or capacity([10, 21]) which reflects the way the different data are connected to each other [20]. In this chapter, taking into account this fact and following the developments in [8],we introduce a method to build capacities ([20, 21]) directly from the data (inputs) of a given problem. In order to do so, we make use of the notions of overlap function and overlap index ([5, 12, 13, 7, 4, 14, 16]) for constructing capacities which reflect how different data are related to each other.This paper is organized as follows: after providing some preliminaries, we analyse, in Section 3, some properties of overlap functions and indexes. In Sections 4 we discuss a method for constructing capacities from overlap functions and overlap indexes. Finally, we present some conclusions and references.
