    public interface SMAggregateKMaximum
    extends SMAggregateWeighted
    The k-maximum aggregation is a generalization of the standard maximum aggregation. The k highest local similarity value determines the global similarity. Hence, if k out of n attributes indicate a high utility, the overall utility for the whole case is high.

    Φ(s, …, si) = maxniki · sik) with (ωi · sik) ≥ (ωi · sik)

      • getK

        int getK()
        Returns:
        the k value for k-maximum
      • setK

        void setK​(int k)
        To use the k-Maximum Aggregation it is necessary to set the k value. k
