Description: Kappalab, which stands for "laboratory for capacities",
        is an S4 tool box for capacity (or non-additive measure, fuzzy
        measure) and integral manipulation on a finite setting. It
        contains routines for handling various types of set functions
        such as games or capacities. It can be used to compute several
        non-additive integrals: the Choquet integral, the Sugeno
        integral, and the symmetric and asymmetric Choquet integrals.
        An analysis of capacities in terms of decision behavior can be
        performed through the computation of various indices such as
        the Shapley value, the interaction index, the orness degree,
        etc. The well-known Mbius transform, as well as other
        equivalent representations of set functions can also be
        computed. Kappalab further contains four capacity
        identification routines: two least squares based approaches, a
        maximum entropy like method based on variance minimization and
        an unsupervised approach grounded on parametric entropies. The
        functions contained in Kappalab can for instance be used for
        multicriteria decision making or in the framework of
        cooperative game theory.
