Abstract
En 中文
We introduce a transformation that acts on binary aggregation functions and that generalizes the transformation that maps copulas, a well-studied class of binary aggregation functions with a profound probabilistic interpretation, to their associated survival copulas. The new transformation, called double flipping, is the composition of two elementary flipping transformations introduced earlier, each operating on one of the arguments of the aggregation function. We lay bare the relationships between these elementary flipping operations and double flipping. We study invariants under these transformations. Furthermore, we characterize the transformations that preserve flippability. Most importantly, we characterize different subclasses of flippable aggregation functions, in particular aggregation functions that have an absorbing element or that have a neutral element. In this investigation, the key role played by quasi-copulas and their dual operations is highlighted. These findings support the introduction of the term survival aggregation function.
