Judgment basis

Interaction Types

q(X1∩X2)< Min[q(X1),q(X2)]

Nonlinear strengthening weakened

Min[q(X1),q(X2)]< q(X1∩X2)< Max[q(X1),q(X2)]

Single factor nonlinear weakening

q(X1∩X2)> Max[q(X1),q(X2)]

Two-factor enhancement

q(X1∩X2) = q(X1) + q(X2)

Independence

q(X1∩X2)> q(X1) + q(X2)

Nonlinear enhancement
