Unsupervised Aggregation by the Choquet Integral Based on Entropy Functionals: Application to the Evaluation of Students

In the framework of aggregation by the discrete Choquet integral, an unsupervised method for the identification of the underlying capacity was recently proposed by the author in [1]. In this paper, an example of the application of the proposed methodology is given : in the absence of initial preferences, the approach is applied to the evaluation of students.
