Interaction types

Basis for judgment

Weaken, nonlinear

\(\:q({X}_{1}\cap\:{X}_{2})<Min\left(q\right({X}_{1}),q({X}_{2}\left)\right)\)

Weaken, uni-factor

\(\:Min\left(q\right({X}_{1}),q({X}_{2}\left)\right)<q({X}_{1}\cap\:{X}_{2})<Max\left(q\right({X}_{1}),q({X}_{2}\left)\right)\)

Enhance, bi-factor

\(\:q({X}_{1}\cap\:{X}_{2})>Max\left(q\right({X}_{1}),q({X}_{2}\left)\right)\)

Independent

\(\:q({X}_{1}\cap\:{X}_{2})=q\left({X}_{1}\right)+q\left({X}_{2}\right)\)

Enhance, nonlinear

\(\:q({X}_{1}\cap\:{X}_{2})>q\left({X}_{1}\right)+q\left({X}_{2}\right)\)
